I have been teaching for 10 years. I currently am I multilingual teacher for K-5th grade students.
I have taught 5th grade for 5 years. One year I have taught all subjects. The other 7 years I have been departmentalized, focusing primarily on reading, writing, word study and social studies. I have taught four years in 4th grade in the same subjects. I have also taught in an immersion program where my students learn Spanish for the second half of the day.
I use a lot of ESOL strategies in my classroom to combine both languages. I have my ESOL certification and have learned a lot of effective strategies to help multilingual learners.
