Newcomer 5th graders getting to know each other while using their listening, reading, and speaking skills with the AGO Q&A card game! They did so well! #madisonESL #mcslearns

This was a wonderful experience! Thank you for the opportunity to highlight our program and our amazing multilingual students!

My ELs had fun creating virtual circuits in class to prepare for building our scribble bots! As they built different versions they reviewed what they had learned and used it to identify problems and create solutions! All while using academic vocab! #mcslearns #madisonESL #esl

5th grade ELs used the virtual circuit lab to test different components and record the circuits they made, along with their observations. #mcslearns #madisonESL #ESL

Making ScribbleBots has been SO fun and a great way to experience electric circuits in action. The students have used their social and academic language to showcase their abilities for teamwork, problem solving, and creativity! #madisonESL #mcslearns #bestjobever #ESL

I am still so overwhelmed with how amazing tonight was!! Pictures as soon as I can wrap my head around it!

These amazing Multilingual students exited our ESL program and celebrated with an sundae bar! We are SO PROUD OF THEM! #mcslearns #madisonESL
