Second Language Learners with LD

We have an English as a Second Language department in our school (ESL).We work closely with them to provide specific classes and mutual support for the student. The ESL department does a language survey on the student. We, as sped teachers, are concerned that we are trying to teach children that only hear English in school. At home, the only language these students here is the native language. How can we teach when they do not or can not thing is our language environment? I would like to keep up with your topic.

Kids with LD’s are a special issue.

For other ESL kids, let’s get real — how do you think 90% of our own grandmothers and grandfathers learned English? If you take the negative view that you can’t teach and that your students are hopeless, well yes, the students won’t learn.

If you take the positive view that you are here to teach and they are here to learn, that they are capable of learning, and that you had better be capable of teaching or else you should leave this job, then almost all ESL students will become fluent in English in a surprisingly short time. Primary kids will be coping well within a year, upper elementary kids in two years, and the educationally motivated high schoolers in two to three years. This has been done successfully for centuries — what’s your own family background? — and if it isn’t happening at your school, you need to look at your programs and the underlying messages of failure that are sometimes sent.

For kids with LD’s of course things may be harder, so that 10% or so of the population will indeed need some extra support. The question of this thread was how to imdentify and help them, and that is a difficult question.

TAKE A CHANCE AND Win!!!

HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR COMPUTER

$ $ Not a Scam!! $ $
THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!!
BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT EXACTLY FOR IT TO WORK AND
BE LEGAL!
I am a 29 year old executive for a very large presidential firm and a
single mother. Figuring my bills, I figured that I was over $55,000 in debt
and needed some money quick so I decided to try this. This is the only
program that kept me from filing bankruptcy the following week. With a 4
year old daughter and heart surgery bills piling up, something had to be
done so I decided I could not loose much by trying this program. I came
across this by browsing some newsgroups on the Internet. It said that I
could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial
investment of $6.00! I thought, ” Yeah, right, this must be a scam”, but
like most of everyone, I was curious, so I kept reading.
The program goes as follows(follow these directions):

1) Take 6 separate envelopes and pieces of paper. On the paper, write
ÒPlease put me on your mailing list and then place your name with
address.Ó
Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place one in each of the envelopes with the
paper so wrapped around the bill so the bill can not be seen through the
envelope. This will prevent thievery. You should now have 6 sealed
envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name
and address, and a $1.00 bill. By providing a $1.00 in each envelope, you
are paying for their services. This is how it becomes legal.

2) Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

1)K Griffin 61 Ridgeview Ave Mattapan, MA 02126

2)Oliver PO Box 1032 Mullumbimby, NSW 2482 Australia

3)Matt PO Box 260127 Boston, MA 02126

4)Paula 4763 N. Thorne Ave. Fresno, CA 93704

5)Andre Stephens 820 E.14th street Brooklyn NY 11230

6)Jose Montan 24708 w. Passavant Ave. Round Lake, Illinois 60073

3) Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other
names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc…) and add YOUR Name as
number 6 on the list.

4) Change anything you need in this letter you would like but try to keep
it as close to original as possible.

5) Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think
there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the
more you post, and the more money you make!
–—HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS––––
1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting.
Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor
to the bottom of this document, then select ‘copy’ from the edit menu. This
will copy the entire letter into the computers memory.
2) Open a blank ‘notepad’ file, and place your cursor at the top of the
blank page. From the ‘edit’ menu select ‘paste’. This will paste a copy of
the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your
postings in different sittings, you’ll always have this file to go back to.
4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various
newsgroups (on-line
forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit
menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as
they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the
post message button. You’re done with your first one!.
So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought
about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and
$6.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried
about the legal aspects of it, put I am a paralegal so I did some checking,
as well as, called the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed
that it is legal! Then I invested the $6.00. I am very glad I did….
within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I
figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first
week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a
total
of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it’s still
growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over
$42,000.00 and it’s still coming in rapidly. It’s certainly worth $6.00,
and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!!
Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works….also,
make sure you print a
copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you
need it.
Congratulations…THAT’S IT! All you have to do is jump to different
newsgroups and post
away, after you get the hang of it, and it will take about 30 seconds for
each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE
MONEY YOU
WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That’s
it! You will
begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may
eventually
want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive.
If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the
postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE
CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5
replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on
the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the
MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons
respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those
25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies
each,
I will bring in an additional
$125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200
with
my name at #3
and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now
here is the fun part,
each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2
and
they each only
receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will
all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still
5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an
original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no
longer on
the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out
another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again.
And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that
thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading
these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6.00
and see if it really works?? I think so… People have said, “what if the
plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the
chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new
honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and
are
willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users,
every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember,
play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work Hi

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
