Hello Everyone! My name is Donielle and I have been teaching four years at Drexel Primary School in Burke County. It is the only K-2 school in our county. I have taught ELL for the last 3 of those years and absolutely love it! My students bring me such joy as they face the hardships of overcoming language barriers in order to learn and be successful in our English speaking schools. I learn more from them than I can ever begin to teach them! On a personal note (I have almost forgotten what that is between school, classes, and homework), I have a wonderful husband, a three-year-old, a seven-year-old, and a new beagle puppy (thanks to Santa!). Life is pretty chaotic and we recently just moved into our new house that we have been building for almost a year now (so let me add to that list, "unpacking")! I am almost half-way through the Master's program and I have enjoyed meeting new people and learning so much new "stuff" to take back to my students. I am looking forward to another great semester!

Donielle,
I am so glad that we are in class together. I know that it is hard to have a personal life when keeping up with homework and kids and work. I would like to know more about ELL students in my class and how to better serve their needs.
