Mr. Hoover’s Classroom Edit display name

https://www.donorschoose.org/classroom/5786312 Customize URL

My name is Mr. H, and this is my first year serving as the ESL Reading teacher at a high school in Port Arthur Texas. My students are beginning and intermediate English language learners who are required to pass a state assessment in U.S. History in order to graduate. Historically the U.S. History STAAR test has been a challenge for English Language Learners at our school. These class sets of "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" and "The Jungle" will help my student's reading comprehension as well as knowledge of US History. I already own the audio books for each of these works of literature: however, the paperbacks will allow the students to either read along, or preferrably read independently. I am also asking for two Telugu/English dictionaries for two new students from India.
