I teach fifth grade is a large, urban school district. I began my teaching career in 2002. I started out in 4th grade, but moved up to fifth grade with a group of kids I just loved. After they graduated, I stayed in fifth grade and I've been there ever since! Starting last year, I took over teaching the fifth English Language Learner (ELL/ESL) group! It's a brand new challenge, but I really enjoy working with this group :-)
I saw your blog on a sale Linky. I'm glad I found you. I find it interesting that your ELLs are all in one class. Almost all of our students are ELLs. I have to admit: I can't figure out what BK stands for. I'm your newest follower. It's always nice to find another fifth grade blog.

We have MANY bilingual students in our school, but only a small number are actually still classified as ELLs. I'm quite envious of my students who so easily speak two languages!
