Hi, everyone!
I’m your English as a New Language (ENL) teacher at North Park Community School #50, and I’m so excited to be here with you! As an ENL teacher, I love helping students from all backgrounds learn English while celebrating their unique cultures. I graduated from Buffalo State and Canisius University, where I learned how to make learning fun and meaningful. I’m passionate about nature, so we’ll explore the English language by making connections to science through books about plants, animals, and the environment; paired with activities like making plant-based bookmarks and vocabulary posters. When I’m not teaching, you might find me hiking, reading about science, or tending to my garden to help bees and other creatures. I can’t wait to learn all about YOU and have an amazing year together!
Here is a summer splash packet that you and your child may explore together while we're not in the classroom.
See you in the fall!
Ms. Lafferty
