Welcome to Mrs. Krause's ELL Website
“Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.”
Chinese Proverb
CELA testing has finished up and we are back to a normal ESL schedule...Hooray! See the different grade levels below to learn about what we're doing in class.
I have been scheduling Parent Teacher Conferences for Wed. Feb. 25, Tues. March 3 and Thursday March 5. Thank you for the emails and phone calls telling me the best time to meet with you. The schedule is set with your child's teacher and myself. Reminders will come home in Friday folders the middle of February. See you all then.

 Homework/Assignments

 
Kindergarten
1st Grade
  • Writing, Writing, Writing
    We are continuing to write like mad. They have just begun working on Family stories. We are really focusing on 3 important writing skills: Capitals at the beginning of a sentence and names. Periods at the end of a sentences, and finger spacing between words. As you go on winter break, please have your child write a sentence or two every day about what they've done that day. Help them with the 3 writing skills listed above. We will read these aloud in class when we get back and they may earn a prize from our prize box.
2nd Grade
  • Long Vowels and Silly Stories
    2nd grade has begun a phonemic awareness lesson working on long vowels. We have worked on long a, o, and i. As you read together at home have them point out the long vowel words. We have also been reading and writing silly stories. They have written a Silly Animal Story and a My Little Brother/sister silly story. Remember to have your child write in their journal at home every evening.
3rd Grade
  • Reading Comprehension and Silly Stories
    3rd grade has been reading the Box Car Children and working on comprehension strategies. We have practiced scanning to find information, making connections, predicting, and asking question as we read. We have also been working on Silly Stories. They are in the process of writing a silly story about their brother or sister.
4th Grade
  • Mysteries and Vowels
    We are continuing our unit on mysteries. We are using background knowledge, word skills, and predicting to figure out the mini mysteries that we are reading. We have also begun a lesson on long and short vowels. We have finished up short vowel sound and will begin long vowels after Thanksgiving break.
5th Grade
  • Shiloh
    We have begun to read our Newbury award winner Shiloh. We are using a tape of the book to help with our fluency. We are then using predicting, connections, and questioning to help us comprehend the story. We are answering comprehension questions about the story and are writing summaries about the chapters we have read.
