👋🏻 It’s been a while, but we’ve been busy! Recently my first graders finished CKLA domain 9, fairy tales. They showed some independence and collaboration during this unit. Also, I love a good pinch card for engagement! #CKLA #MCPS #LanguageLearners #1stgrade #workinghard

I was so worried about CKLA and how challenging it’d be when we started. While it is difficult my 1st graders are really trying! Loved using pinch cards to review learning. #watkinsmillelementary #CKLA #MCPS #languagelearners

WMES First graders have traveled back in time to use Cuneiform to write their names on clay tablets! Of course I’m an archeologist there to guide them through their time travel. #WMES #MCPS #CKLA #languagelearners

Monday we had our final pause day for K3:Similar Stories, Different Lands. Vocab posters for the review win! So please with my hard working first graders! #watkinsmillelementary #ckla #MCPS #languagelearners

Enjoying the beautiful fall weather while taking a quick look ahead at our next CKLA unit.

I’m liking the pause days in CKLA and how we have some time to work the kids on projects to support and review learning. Differentiated passports was today’s project. #MCPS #watkinsmillelementary #CKLA #multilinguallearners

My first graders have now wrapped up their reading unit on the human body. One of my awesome co-teachers worked on this project with the kids recently. They did AMAZING work!

@kristikim @WIDA_UW @LailaaRazJaz @MCPSDELME Love this! I’m sure your presentation was AMAZING!

[Kristina Angel @MrsAngel_WMES]

I’ve partnered with Dr. Wellbody from CKLA to teach my first graders about the human body. Of course I came prepared with my own lab coat, a body model and some model organs.

New #ELL strategy: Pre-teaching Vocabulary and Content

This is a great way to help ELLs prepare for new lessons. Special thanks to @KatyCPadilla from @fcpsnews for sharing her tips! #ELLchat #MLL #MLL
