Our The Columbus School K5 scientists are #translanguaging while studying Next Generation Science Standards phenomena about plants' needs. Observing/discussing in 2 languages & predicting which plant had no water, too much, or just the right amount of water. ¿Sabes tú cuál planta had its needs met?

Our The Columbus School Kinder Ss continue to amaze as they navigate Next Generation Science Standards #ngsschat standards in 2 languages! In this final assessment of our 1st module, Ss create #bilingual books after observing photos of plants & determining needs. WIDA™

How will you show responsibility today?

In our pilot K5 unit The Columbus School, our Ss bilingualism is an asset. We built exemplar texts linked to @TCRWP units & WIDA™ #CanDo descriptors while exploring Next Generation Science Standards standards about plant/animal needs. #ngsschat #ellchat. Were you academically bilingual at 5?

Happy #EarthDay to our lovely home! Let us come together to make this a wonderful place to live. It is our responsibility to hand it over in a healthier way to our future generations! #𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗪𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 #HappyEarthDay

Such a treat to work at TCS (The Columbus School) where we value & celebrate multilingualism every day. In fact, multilingualism is one of our priorities as a school. And today, on UN Language Day, we are extra excited to celebrate: video214.com/play/LXZF1Cb5n…

We are building connections between languages The Columbus School in Grade 4 through @TCRWP en español & English! We have developed a biliteracy pre-assessment & are developing tools to help Ss transfer skills.

Today is a very special day! We celebrate our Children’s Day! Thanks to all the kids that make our lives brighter, that inspire us to keep dreaming and who fill our lives with great joy and happiness! #𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗪𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 #HappyChildrensDay

Excited to share this new article published in ILA, a collaboration w/ Lindsey Moses & The Columbus School about the power of #translanguaging & its effects on identity & literacy. ila.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/tr…

Sight words are hard & when we teach them without context to our youngest emergent bilinguals, they can be even more of a challenge. This year The Columbus School we are trying to build sight word automaticity & support phrasing/fluency in new ways. Other ideas out there?

The Columbus School we value #collective #teacher #efficacy. Today our Spanish and Sociales teachers shared strengths and opportunities for improvement to select common strategies to use across the grade level to support student understanding

Happy Thanksgiving to our TCS community, wishing you a wonderful time surrounded by your loved ones! #HappyThanksgiving
