Grade 4 ELLs use a story elements diagram to identify the plot in “The Last Game”. #ShrewburyLearns

First grade ELLs used sequence words and a timeline to write about MLK Jr.’s life. #Shrewsburylearns

Grade one ESL students at Coolidge School use resources to use comparing and contrasting language to explain how Rosa Parks and MLK Jr. are the same and different.

Second grade ESL students just completed their Zoo Habitat Designer books. They did a fabulous job researching, planning, typing, and illustrating! #shrewsburylearns #shrewsburyesol #coolidgeschool1
