CLASSROOM SHOWCASE

Presenting at NYC ABE 2018 Conference with our Advanced KBR Students:




Dear all,

I would like to share stories by two of my students. They were chosen for this year’s “All Write!” Symphony Space yearly writing contest! It’s open to students of all levels. I’m particularly proud of my student Soukaye, because she’s a literacy beginner.

On Thursday, May 10th at 7pm, three professional actors will read all selected student stories to an audience in the wonderful Symphony Space theater.

If you or your students are interested in coming, please email me!
Usually there are seats left. It’s free!

Cooking
I like to cook.
I cook rice and fish.
And I cook chicken.
Good chicken.
People like my food.
I like to cook.
I cook and I smile.
Every day.

By Soukaye Talia, a beginner level literacy student at the Harlem Library


“The Economic”
When I was a child my father and I both had strong hair. He always liked short haircuts but for me it is not good. In this case the barber used the first number of the machine: zero. When he finished, this situation was so embarrassing. I wanted to run away or hide.  When my mother saw me she disliked it. She shouted at me. It was similar to the haircut of old men. In my country this haircut has a name: THE ECONOMIC - because if you cut it short, you don’t have to go to the barber so often - and not pay so much!

By Jorge Mesa, Hamilton Grange and Washington Heights Intermediate ESOL student

Please send me pictures, and be sure to include the branch name and level.
I need them by the end of the business day on Wednesday.
I already have enough submissions for the week-
that just means your pictures will be published the next week.
Personally, I think the pictures that you share are the best part of the blog.


Thank you! elizabethschade@nypl.org
