We are learning persuasive language through advertising! We started with candy tasting, picked our favorites, discussed successful candy advertisements, and created our own!

Next, we’re going to write copy for our very own “commercial” and record!

The 23-24 school year has started strong! First we reviewed our ACCESS data and made goals. Then we got our baseline progress monitoring data, and now we are beginning a unit on The Keeping Quilt with vocabulary mapping!

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

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

[MayesESL @EslMayes]

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

[MayesESL @EslMayes]

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

[MayesESL @EslMayes]

Practicing for the ACCESS writing test with released items. Today’s focus was on how we can plan for our writing quickly before getting started. This was compare and contrast, so the drew a quick Venn Diagram and got started!
