Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to a year–end event at the Moscow Nights Café on Friday June 15th at 5:30PM. The event will include the last ESL Focus Group meeting, and a membership drive for NYS TESOL and NYSABE. We will also honor the KidBits contest winners.
The ESL Focus Group consists of ESL and bilingual professionals who meet bi– monthly to share current information and discuss issues related to the education of LEP/ELLs. It is also an opportunity to network and provide support to other professionals in the field.
As bilingual and ESL educators, we invite you to join us to become members, or renew your membership, of NYS TESOL and NYSABE, two statewide professional advocacy organizations in New York working to promote high quality education for LEP/ELLs at the local and state levels. Membership in these organizations will be beneficial to you and your career.
We hope to see you on June 15!

Rose Colon – Cisneros, NYSABE Regional Delegates

Buffalo Region ESL Book Club
Buffalo Region ESL and bilingual teachers enjoy their monthly book club meetings.
The purpose of this book club is not only to enjoy great international literature but also to get better acquainted with our colleagues. We concentrate on one of the world cultures for one or several book club meetings. We read books for adults and children, so we can look at a specific culture from different angles.
If you are interested in joining, please contact Elena Dokshansky, Buffalo Regional Chair, at buffalo@nystesol.org. It would be great if you could suggest a favorite genre, author or title, which will be included onto the book list.
