Re: Hello from California Hi, I'm new to this site, but I'm so glad that I found it! I'm from New York and I teach ells in grades k-5. I too have an extremely diverse population, with newcomers entering the school constantly. This is my second year teaching. In our school we have to push into the classroom and pull our group aside. I do work with one group of newcomers that I pull out of the classroom. I don't know if you have to push into the mainstream classroom, but I find this set up to be difficult at times for a multitude of reason But on a good note, I also work with 25 kindergarden students, who are complete beginners, and they are the best.
