In the few instances that I have, I typically ask the parents if they'd be interested in coming in for a presentation to teach us about their culture, language, etc. I had parents from Fiji come in and make leis with us, brought native food, artifacts, pictures, and other interesting items. They also taught us traditional dances! It was so much fun, and the students LOVED IT! I think most ELL parents would be most comfortable helping out with something that they are familiar and comfortable with! You could also leave an option for them to tell you if they have ideas on how they could best help out in your classroom! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14877588485500425469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1372747128076091400.post-27726372884428382902012-07-13T08:13:41.114-07:002012-07-13T08:13:41.114-07:00You are most welcome!

Do you have very many ELL students in your class? Just wondering if you did and how their families respond to volunteering.<br /><a href="http://mskerriandherkrazykindergarten.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ms. Kerri and her Krazy Kindergarten</a>Kerri Bucknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924383425982816680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1372747128076091400.post-57051623643529135932012-07-12T16:35:33.016-07:002012-07-12T16:35:33.016-07:00These are some excellent ideas!
