Marching forward

Hello readers,

Happy March! I'm back working with students and following my regular schedule again after pausing for our annual English Language Proficiency Assessment.

We are beginning an exploration of Insects in first grade. Science content and language development are integrated as I work in first grade classrooms. We have just begun this week.

In Kindergarten, with students of Teacher Chris, we are continuing our Content Based ELD unit, Solids and Liquids. We have spent time exploring and talking about different properties of solids. Students enjoy the hands on exploration, and I enjoy getting around and having dialogues with the students as they investigate properties. Most recently, students tested each solid in their collection to find out if it floats or sinks in water.

Feel free to find me in 206 to ask me more about CBELD and ELD at Grout.
