Ss are learning about traditions and celebrations in social studies. We are learning about the Lunar New Year. Today we made and played a game Koreans play on the Lunar New Year - Ddakji (딱지). They loved it! @GoodfellowPS @SCDSB_Schools #ddakji #딱지 #LunarNewYear

How did a school with a large population of #ELLs who start kindergarten with little or no English get kids reaching proficiency by 3rd or 4th grade?

Watch to learn the strategies they used! 💫
