Beautiful day for a field trip to the Frankfurt Palmengarten with G1. It was a great way to begin our Sharing the Planet unit for our #MultilingualLearners by providing a rich opportunity for content and language development. 🦋 🌸 ☀️

G1 families attended an exciting “Show and Share” showcasing student learning around the theme of identity, diversity, & belonging. Ss used music, books, natural materials, visual arts, tech, & movement to express themselves & share understanding of the unit’s central idea 🌟

Check out our latest Focus Bulletin on reading instruction for MLs! You’ll hear from educators who have explored inclusive reading practices for multilingual learners, with examples from the classroom: wida.wisc.edu/resources/expa…

G1 had a language celebration for UN International Home Language Day. Volunteers read a story & led activities in their home languages. We had volunteers sharing Arabic, American Sign Language, Bulgarian, English, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, & Mandarin! 🌍🌟

Learners who are beginning their reading journey can cozy up with ABC stories on Read Along. They'll practice recognizing letters 🔠 and their associated sounds 🔊. The best part? Use as at-home practice or to supplement K-1 lessons! Start reading: goo.gle/3NC0laP

In G1 our #multilingual students are learning about how to be balanced - looking after our minds & bodies by trying to stay healthy & happy. We read one of my favourite picture books by Monique Gray Smith Monique Gray Smith & wrote about what fills our hearts with happiness. ❤️😊

We learned how to make Korean citron tea 유자차 & wrote the steps how to make it to practice our procedural writing. 🍋 ☕️ 🍯 ⭐️

Writing for a purpose… these G1 writers are practicing their procedural writing skills. ✍️ They wrote how to get ready for a wet recess and then right after that, they followed their own instructions and prepared to go out in the rain to play! ☔️

We enjoyed using the Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM)! Great for developing vocabulary & practicing oral communication, reading, & writing. So many activities can stem from this one strategy! Can be used at any stage of language acquisition #PWIM ⭐️

Hangul Day was October 9th - it was lovely to have a G1 parent come in to share about the Korean alphabet & to teach our students from around the world how to write their names in 한글. Students proudly displayed their names on their cubbies 🇰🇷 🌍 ✍️ ⭐️ #MultilingualLearners

Primary students proud to share books in their home languages 📖 ⭐️ This week we looked at books from: 🇩🇪 🇰🇷 🇳🇱 🇮🇹 🇺🇸 #MultilingualLearners

Made a quick guide to share with parents today for open house! Had a few parents come and chat with me about what they can do at home to support their child’s language development 🎉

Love when students feel proud to share their home languages with others! This G1 student taught her friend to write words in Korean 😊🌍 #mll #MultilingualLearners

When it’s book character dress up day at school #petethecat 📖📕📚💜

On a snowy, wintery day we read the classic book “The Snowy Day” by Ezra Jack Keats, did some writing about what we like to do on a snowy day, and then we decorated the windows! ❄️ ⛄️🌲 Frankfurt Int School

Using the Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) to brainstorm winter vocabulary and build oral and written sentences. #ela #multilinguallearners Frankfurt Int School
