As an example: one student asked, "When will we have the summative?" and I responded that she needs to improve her English, move into the mainstream class, and then she can worry about that. It was funny but helpful at the same time. ]]> 2018-12-15 23:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/christie_powell/3jby4gwcklhg/wish/314927231 Brian https://padlet.com/christie_powell/3jby4gwcklhg/wish/314927366 Let's not forget the point of these classes. The students, in eighth grade at least, have improved in their ability to communicate in English.  Good job, everyone!

Or will we continue to keep the SEAL classes reports as comments about their progress in English?
