First graders @BjmEnl work on the May STEM challenge. How do you create a machine to carry a cotton ball from the floor to the chair? We created a plan, played with the materials, built our machine and then reflected. @IthacaENL @IthacaNYSchools

Multilingual learners presenting their NYS Seal of Biliteracy projects today! The seal recognizes students who demonstrate high proficiency in one or more languages in addition to English.

[ICSD English as a New Language Program (ENL) @IthacaENL]

Learning another language has many benefits from looking good on college applications & resumes to breaking down linguistic & cultural barriers. If you are growing up in a bilingual home in #twithaca, keep it up and apply for the #biliteracyseal when you are a high school senior!

[Lisa Rieger @lisa_m_rieger]

So proud of our IHS students presentations in other languages today. Way to go for the New York State Seal of Biliteracy! @IthacaNYSchools

[ICSD English as a New Language Program (ENL) @IthacaENL]
