What do we do in class?
In all classes, we engage in experiential learning activities, singing, movement, dramatized readings and more to improve skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. We aim to build a solid base of interpersonal language skills while gradually incorporating academic language. Our whole group time focuses on developing vocabulary associated with themes like family, weather, home, and community. In small groups we continue vocabulary development while focusing on reading and grammar skills. Each day we gather in a circle to share about ourselves, develop social skills, practice coping strategies, and practice the language of healthy relationships. We also use reading and writing to learn about science, math, and social studies.
