Creating a Culture Connections space is as easy as putting up a shower curtain map!
Then at your next open house, give families a little sticker dot to put on the map to reflect the country their family originated!

Celebrating Mrs. Wilemon’s Birthday turned into a cultural connection when we all decided to dress in our Indian attire! Something so little is now stimulating interest in a monthly cultural dress day!
Stay tuned… #lisdone #lisdlas #creleads

Steps to writing language objectives:

1. Start with "I can"
2. Add one of the READ words
3. Add "by" or "by using the words"

I can sequence a narrative story by using transitions words such as first, then, after that, & finally.

I love to see teachers making small changes to support English Learners! This was from a classroom where the teacher branched out with Google Slides to add visuals to new vocabulary!
