To the parents\/guardians of my ELL students<\/p>\n
By way of introduction, my name is Helen Koster and I am one of your child\u2019s ELL support teachers at Capitol Hill Elementary School.\u00a0 This is my ninth year at Capitol Hill and so I have met many of you. I want you to know that I will continue to work with your child during these very different learning circumstances. Having experienced immigration three times in my lifetime, I do understand the some of the challenges of arriving and living in a different country\/culture where another language is spoken, Also, I know how hard it is to not have extended family to support you during this time. Further, I have had the experience of home schooling 3 of my 4 children during the 8 years we lived in Indonesia. I know how difficult it is to be mom and teacher, even when you are supervising another teacher\u2019s program. However, we did not have to endure social distancing as well. So, I can only begin to imagine the stresses and strains you may be currently experiencing. I want you to know that I am here to support your child with English language skills and academic learning in English as best I can. However, my technology learning curve is steep so it may be through emails and attachments to start with.<\/p>\n
During this school year I have been working with 82 of the 120 ELL students. Some students I work with for 45 minutes per week and some students I work with for 3 or 4 blocks of 45 minutes per week. The time varies according to the language skills and needs of each student. Therefore, my current role is to focus my support on the newcomers, beginners and developing ELL students in terms of English Language Acquisition. I will also support the other ELL students who need help or guidance to complete the classroom teacher\u2019s assignments. These students are usually able to access the classroom curriculum and can speak and understand everyday English but need support with academic reading and writing. I am communicating and collaborating with classroom teachers on an ongoing basis, but please reach out to me by email helen.koster@burnabyschools.ca<\/a>.
