OCTOBER 2015

Important Note
Comcast has notified us that they will no longer provide our family with personal web pages therefore I have had to look for a new provider. 
So the new url address for the ESL Web Page is
http://www.newsesl.com/

Please add it to your favorites for easy reference.

(It will look like the old web page so make sure the address is the short one and not the previous long one.)

Reminder

 In addition, I have found sites that pertain to the monthly themes. These will give your child some background about the subjects that are taught in the classroom.  It is a work in progress so I will be adding to this section each month.
