There is great variation both in size and in color, and pumas at the extremes of their geographic range are much larger than those of the tropics.
The fur is yellow-brown, red-brown, or gray; the puma is distinguished from the other large New World cat, the jaguar, by its lack of spots.
Pumas are found in almost every type of country, including mountain tops, grasslands, deserts, and temperate and tropical forests.

Even language teachers and administrators who are generally satisfied with their elementary grades through high school foreign language programs do not expect language majority students (monolingual English speakers) to attain a high level of proficiency in the target language (Oxford, 1998).
Language minority and language majority students are integrated in classes and provided grade-level instruction in and through two languages, English and the non-English language of the language minority students.
By regarding language as a resource to be developed and integrating language minority and language majority students for most content instruction, an instructional environment is created to promote positive cross-cultural attitudes and enhanced self-esteem.

 Second-Language Learning
If there is a mismatch between the structures, values, and expectations of the home language and school language, children may be at a disadvantage for success in early reading tasks, and thus spend their entire school careers attempting to catch up (Gay, 1988; Snow, 1992).
Non-native speakers schooled in a second language for part or all of the day typically do reasonably well in early years; from fourth grade, however, when academic and cognitive demands of the curriculum increase rapidly, students with little or no academic and cognitive development in their first language fail to maintain positive gains (Collier, 1995).
For example, children's literature in both languages should be in classroom and school libraries for children to access at both school and home; newspapers and other examples of community literacy should be available in both languages at home and at school; signs in classrooms should be in both languages, as appropriate.

Similarly, literate and academically prepared newcomers will still need a viable English language development program to enable them to transfer the knowledge and skills they acquired in their native language schooling to the curricula they are studying in the United States.
Many adolescent ELL students come to school with sufficient social language for everyday classroom interactions yet are severely lacking in the academic English foundations to tackle a poem or follow the instructions on a standardized test.
In striking contrast, the language minority student enters U.S. schooling with a tenuous grasp of the phonology and syntax of the English language, a scant working English vocabulary, and rare opportunities for practice and expansion of this knowledge outside the classroom.

We therefore use the term bilingual to refer to an individual with a language background other than English who has developed proficiency in his or her primary language and enough proficiency in English not to be disadvantaged in an English-only school environment.
