Welcome to Mrs. Stringfield's ESOL webpage. I work with the kindergarten,  first and fifth grade English Language Learners at Knollwood Elementary School.  Almost 40% of our students are English Language Learners.  It is a very friendly school where all students are encouraged to be successful.

       The purpose of the ESOL program is to help the limited English students with their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.  By working in small groups many of the students feel more comfortable expressing themselves. It also allows for additional time to work on specific skills that have not  been mastered in the classroom.

 This year the ESOL teachers will be co-teaching with some of the teachers. I will be working with Mrs. Conrad, Mrs. DeRhodes and Mrs. Cook.

The first graders are leaning about animals. Last month we went on a field trip to Dan Nicholas Park where we saw owls, bears, snakes and other interesting animals.  Our focus in reading has been looking for details, summarizing, cause and effect and making predictions.

Fifth graders are reading tall tales. They are humorous because of all the exaggerations!

During the afternoons I am working with kindergarten students. We will be learning letter sounds through the Zoophonics program.
