Author's Purpose

My name is Luz Gonzalez. I have been teaching for five years at the early elementary school level. I have taught both kindergarten and first grade. In my classroom I have both monolinguals and ESL students, which requires a lot of lesson planning creativity and modifications to ensure that my students are meaningfully engaged in the learning process. I know the struggle that ESL students face because I learned English as a second language at the age of five.

As a child, I recalled being frustrated learning English because English as a second language instruction emphasized on rote learning, drills, and lectures. I am very happy to provide my ESL students with language instruction that is practical, fun, and meets their individual and collective needs. The purpose of my blog

is to share my teaching experiences, research based ESL strategies, and thematic unit/lesson plans that have

been successful in my classroom.
