KAIAFAS, MARIA
Academic Year 2025-2026
Welcome to Mrs. Kaiafas' ESL Class!
I have been teaching ESL classes for as long as I can remember. Over the years my students ranged from Kindergarten students to adults. I honestly admit that middle school students are indeed my favorite ones.
I am looking forward to another safe, happy, and productive school year. I am excited to be working with my intermediate school friends in their English Language Arts classrooms and in my English for Multilingual Learners' class.
This year like last year we will be working on the Robotel Smart Class platform. Each lesson has a thematic unit vocabulary and a grammar section as well as speaking, listening, reading and writing activities. The students really enjoy completing these computerized activities and of course recording themselves for the speaking activities.
Extra Help Day: Thurday afternoons, WIS, Room 217
