Exemplary Practice in Dual Language
Let’s celebrate the students at Blair using project based learning. Students are using concrete experiences to help in their understanding of Spanish terms. After this, students worked on the bridging of the content. Students then worked on an extension activity in English.
Using Dual Language pairings, students are communicating with one another to achieve their tasks.
These strategies incorporate academic vocabulary, oracy, collaboration, and extension within science context.
The Kindergarteners studied the parts of a tree through academic vocabulary as well as TPR and visuals.
They later went on a scavenger hunt to look for different parts of a tree.
They incorporated math concepts by tallying and graphing their findings.
After bridging, the students worked on an extension activity in English incorporating the changes of a tree throughout the seasons.
