About ESOL with Mrs. Avenevoli 

I am the ESOL (English for Speakers of other Languages) for the students in these classes:
KG - Ms. Anderson/Ms. Filben, Ms. Finley, and Ms. Crystal
First Grade - Ms. Barnes, Ms.Boettcher, and Ms. Zotos.

I co-teach/collaborate with grade-level teachers.  I plan with teachers and we work together to make sure everyone has what they need in order to learn.  Some supports include:
Visuals: pictures, posters, charts

Sentence Stems: giving students a framework for answering questions for example
Do you prefer apples or orages?
I prefer _____ because______.

Graphic Organizers: tables to fill out, venn diagrams, KWL charts

I also work with students in small groups.  This is when I can focus on what each students needs in order to meet goals in Listenning, Speaking, Writing and Reading.

You can reach me at Buder (314) 352-4343.  My plan time is from 1:20-2:10.
Email katie.avenevoli@slps.org or class dojo are also great ways to get in contact if needed.
Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you.

If you need an interpreter in order to talk more comfortably with me and/or your child's teacher, please let me know - we have access to interpeters for any language.
