 ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
Welcome to our site for English as a Second Language. There are at least six languages represented at Watauga Elementary. Some students learned Chinese, Gujurati, or Vietnamese languages before learning the English language. Others first learned Spanish, Urdu, or Arabic. However, all friends at Watauga Elementary can communicate by using the English language, regardless of the first language the students learned. The ESL program provides academic support and a fun place to learn and share cultural backgrounds.

Going to School in Pakistan
By Aqsa
My school in Pakistan was different from my American school. My school was secured by the government Army. Most children had fathers in the army. It was very safe to go to school. My school colors were green, white, and black because the flag in Pakistan is green and white. Every student had to wear a frock or pajama shirt and pants or shorts. We had to wear name plates and badges to school every day. It was part of our uniforms.
I was in Third Grade in Pakistan. In each class the least amount was 30-35 students! I had eight different teachers that moved class to class. I like fewer students in class because it has less noise. My American school has 20 students. Students in Pakistan, especially boys, make so much noise that they had to stand on a chair and put their hands up. Some went to the principal or the office called their parents. When boys get in trouble in my American school, they lose their recess or the teacher talks to them.
I enjoyed having lunch outside in Pakistan everyday. We bought our lunch from an outside cantina. Sometime I bought a sandwich or chicken nuggets. There was also chips and soday! We ate our lunch while sitting on the school steps. After finishing our lunch we could play with our friends.
Some things are the same about Pakistan and American schools. The recess in Pakistan has swings, a see-saw, and a slide like American school recess. In gym we have to run or exercise. We could not speak Urdu in my school. We could only speak English.
In my Pakistani school, my favorite subject was English because I was better in grammar. My least favorite subject was Urdu because I was very bad in Urdu grammar. Urdu is the language many people speak in Pakistan. Schools in Pakistan and America are different, but some things are the same.
