FOCUS ON FEEDBACK
We know feedback to students is a critical component of the learning process as it informs instruction, guides the learner to self monitor and builds an understanding around the qualities of good work. This video celebrates the feedback opportunities that were captured at Banting Elementary School-Thanks for Sharing what you do!

This week in CCSS-MENTOR TEXT:
Un hombre, un nino y un burro
por Jennifer Burrows
Moraleja: No intentes complacer a toda la gente, porque así nunca vas a complacer a nadie.
Un hombre y su hijo iban una vez con su burro de camino al mercado, mientras caminaban a su lado pasaba un hombre de campo que dijo: '¿para qué es el burro sino para que montarse sobre?'.
Así que el hombre que ordenó al muchacho que bajara, y se subió el, pero no habían ido muy lejos cuando pasaron dos mujeres, una de ellas le dijo a la otra: '¡Qué vergüenza que patán perezoso como deja que su pobre hijo camine mientras el va en el burro'.
Bueno, el hombre no sabía qué hacer, pero al fin tomó su niño y lo subió delante de él en el burro. Para entonces habían llegado a la ciudad, y los transeúntes comenzaron a burlarse y apuntarles. El hombre se detuvo y preguntó de qué se estaban burlando y los hombres dijeron:
'¿No te da vergüenza de la sobrecarga que lleva el pobre burro contigo y tu hijo?'.
El hombre y el niño se bajaron y el hombre trató de pensar qué hacer. Pensó y pensó, hasta que por fin cortaron una vara, ataron los pies del burro a la misma, y levantaron la vara y el burro a sus hombros, iban entre las risas de todos los que los veían pasar hasta llegar al puente del Mercado, cuando el burro, con uno de sus pies sueltos, resbaló y cayó sobre el río, lo que provocó las caracajadas de todos los ciudadanos.
'Eso les enseñará', dijo un anciano que los había seguido.
This week in Practice!! (Thanks to Yvette Bielfuss!!)
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.

Question: Can a parent order a child small or an adult small?
Answer: YES!, just know, there may be little difference between child medium, and large and adult small. Also, child small is not that small, and is still big on the little ones.

What a great way to promote Waukesha One in our Dual Language Program!
● To promote early bilingualism and/or multilingualism, and to recognize and appreciate the achievement of young children who have invested their time and effort in speaking or signing in at least one other world language.
● To provide an opportunity for young children to start developing global awareness and the linguistic skills necessary to succeed in the 21st century.
● To provide a platform for children to showcase their multilingual talents and cross-cultural competency.
