Have any of you ever wondered about the ESOL students or ever helped translate for them? The East Academy for English Language Learners (EAFELL) was held during February break from 8:00pm to 1:30pm here at East High School. This program is for those students who have recently transferred from another country and even for those who want to get better at their English speaking and writing skills. These students are called the new ELL’s to East.

These scholars not only took time out of their break to practice English but they also took notes and visited the George Eastman house, the Susan B. Anthony house and the Rochester museum and science center (RMSC). Each scholar learned about Rochester's history and how each place had a great impact on Rochester.

On the last day, Friday, each student had to present in front of the staff on who they thought had a greater impact. “I was super impressed and they did very well,” said ELL teacher Ms. Shaw. She was with these students along with other staff members during break.  Presentations are part of a specifically American education. “In other countries it's rare for [students] to do presentations. These students never did presentations where they came from,” added Ms. Shaw.   If you want to learn more about the history of Rochester and or want to practice your English skills more reach out to Ms. Shaw in D235 or any ELL teacher.
 

Aprendiendo Ingles en Exploracion
​

Alguna vez te has preguntado sobre los estudiantes ESOL o has interpretado por algún estudiante en tu clase? El East Academy for English language learners (EAFELL) fue dado en el receso de febrero de 8AM a 1:30PM aquí en la East High school. Este programa es para nuestro estudiantes nuevos que han venido de otro país recientemente o los que necesitan más práctica leyendo y escribiendo en inglés. Estos estudiantes son llamados los ELL’s nuevos de east.

Estos estudiantes no solo sacaron de su tiempo por cinco días en el receso sino que también estudiaron y visitaron el George Eastman house, Susan B. Anthony house y el Museo de Rochester y el Centro de Ciencia. Cada estudiante aprendió sobre el conocimiento profundo sobre Rochester y como cada persona fue parte de el gran cambio impactante de Rochester.

En el último dia, viernes, cada estudiante tenía que hacer una presentación delante de el personal de la escuela explicando quien ellos creen quien hizo un cambio más impactante. “ ellos hicieron un gran trabajo, estaba super impresionada” dijo la maestra de ELL Srta. Shaw. Ella estuvo con estos estudiantes ayudándolos. Las presentaciones son una gran parte en la educación en los Estados Unidos. “En otros países es rara la vez que estudiantes hagan presentaciones. Estos estudiantes nunca han hecho presentaciones en sus países.” también dijo Srta. Shaw.  Si algunos de ustedes quieren aprender más de la historia de Rochester o mejorar su ingles pueden alcanzar la Srta. Shaw en D235 o otro maestro de ELL.
