He has been placed age-appropriately into the 8th grade at the public middle school in Durham, NC where I am an ESL teacher. He has completed 1st grade in his home country and some of 2nd. He is unable to read or even write his name. He has been working as a brick layer. We have thought to put him into one class most of the day--the science teacher's class in part because she is so hands on. He will get the same lesson over and over and have an environment that is familiar to him. He will go to an elective ESL class (that is how ESL is scheduled in this public school) and a Spanish class. Does anyone have any wisdom, or material ideas--print or computer that could be available or purchased in a public school? thanks emilie condon
