Parents:
Lots of engaging learning going on this week in ELL class. Kindergarteners discussed the Fall season and learned many new vocabulary words. They learned what a noun was and identified them in short sentences. A few of us took turns reading a book entitled, Fall, in front of the whole group. That was very exciting!
First and second grades focused on building their vocabularies through the use of a graphic organizer called a Frayer Model. We also worked on using the correct word order in sentences and had great discussions about the books we read.
Third grade's focus was on BATS this week. We read an interesting story called Bats at the Library...a very amusing, rhyming book. We practiced writing paragraphs with a main idea sentence, detail sentences, and an ending sentence. We made our own bats to end the week.
Fourth and fifth grades continued to work on Extended Response writing and Narrative Elements. Another busy week in ELL class! All of the students are extremely motivated and eager to learn.
Have a wonderful weekend!
