Hello! And welcome to the Winslow Elementary School ELL Classroom! I am happy and honored to be your teacher. I have been teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages since 2001, and over the years I have worked in the Elementary, Middle, and High School settings, as well as the Adult Education. My students have come from 20 different countries and speak 15 different languages. I hold a Master's Degree in teaching English, German, and Literature, and needless to say that I enjoy reading, writing, teaching, and learning. Some of the things I like to learn about are my students' languages, cultures and histories; my own history and culture; and the natural world. I also enjoy hiking and gardening. My students' perseverance and resilience inspire me, and I am committed to your educational success.
