August 26, 2016

"Labor Day is a glorious holiday because your child will be going back to school the next day. It would have been called Independence Day, but that name was already taken."

—Bill Dodds

Did you know that ESL Library has dozens of printable resources (charts, forms, warmers, worksheets, etc.) in addition to our ready-made lesson plans and flashcards? Our team is very excited about the addition of the Resources section, and we hope teachers find it useful this school year.
