We had an amazing open house last week ! My favorite part ? Watching parents reaction to scanning a QR code to hear their child read in Spanish. Feeling so grateful to work at Bancroft today.

A peak into our LA centers today. Pea planting, butterfly poems, long/short vowel sorting and independent reading on raz kids. We had so much fun!

[Miss Velasquez @MissVsKinder]

Today I was reminded of the importance of choices in kindergarten . They got to choose how they practiced subtraction and I got on task, engaged workers. Win win!

Investigating kale leaves and recording what we found to kick off our 🦋/🌱 units. We saw mites, aphids, eggs and even a few caterpillars!

[Miss Velasquez @MissVsKinder]

Fact: using the giant whiteboard makes subtracting w/ a number line WAYY more fun. Look at that teamwork in action !

[Miss Velasquez @MissVsKinder]

Thanks @MaestraVizcay for the alphabet fluency sheets!

[Miss Velasquez @MissVsKinder]

When we complete our writing assignment, it’s time to read! Targeted practice to help us become fluent kindergarten readers. 📚👍🏼

Just because a #DualLanguage #teacher is #bilingual & #biliterate does not mean she/he knows how teach literacy in both program languages. Similarities/Differences - a good start. Below is a Spanish-English example. How does this impact #literacy/#biliteracy instruction? Share!
