English as a New Language
This class is an 'English as a New Language' class (ENL), for emerging bilinguals! We will work together to improve your language skills and to help you pass all your classes and exams! Below is my language philosophy which will guide us in our work together.
How do we SUPPORT our emerging bilinguals?

Helping Period
Helping period is an excellent opportunity for you to come get help for any subject! I am here for YOU! Come by any day to get extra help on English, homework, or life! Or, you can 'invite' me to a helping period of one of your other classes if you are nervous to go see another teacher by yourself. 2:30-3 pm I expect you to be SOMEWHERE in the building doing schoolwork with a teacher.
Hint: If my own room is empty, I often roam the halls during helping period to check to see if you are where you are supposed to be. 👀
