Yelena Kniep

Welcome to Mrs. Kniep's ELD Class

    George is an amazing school to teach! It is truly a global, very diverse place! Most of our students speak two or more languages at home. I love to learn about their home traditions, customs, and to learn how to say words in their languages. I have worked at George since 1999, and taught Newcomer Literacy, English Language Development, Language Arts, Reading, Writing, Cultures, and Russian Literacy. This year I work with English language learners supporting their English language development.

ELL Services at George (intake, assessment, instruction, support services, contacts)

In our class we use A Focused Approach for Systematic ELD and PPS-adopted curriculum materials Shining Star

Rosetta Stone is availalble to Beginner ELLs to practice at home.  Students need to see Mrs. Kniep or Mr. Vargas for their log-in and password information.

Portaportal is a collection of websites for English Language Learners to practice their skills. Mrs. Kniep's students can access it by loggin-in as eslpps.
