Welcome to Language Arts 6 ELD!
In this
class, your child will learn how to read, write, speak and listen in English.
In every class, we practice phonics, read stories, speak aloud and participate.
Students should speak in English as much as they can, and if they need help
with translations, we have Portuguese word-to-word dictionaries and we have
Portuguese Native Language tutor, Ms. Raquel Cezar.

Welcome to Social Studies for ELD 1-4!
In this
class, your child will learn how to read, write, speak and listen in English
through the Social Studies contexts. In every class, we improve our English
skills through reading about US and World History and Geography. This year, we
will focus on academic conversation skills and writing about text using
evidence. Students are expected to speak in English during class time, and if
they need help with translations, we have Portuguese word-to-word dictionaries
and we have Portuguese Native Language tutor, Ms. Raquel Cezar.
What up Socrates?
Each unit,
we will have a Socratic Seminar, where the students will work in groups to hold
a discussions-based conversation around an essential question. This will
require multiple readings of the same text, identification of evidence,
analysis of evidence and then a writing composition.
Language Arts Laboratory 6!
In this
class, your child will learn how to read, write, speak and listen in English,
often using an individualized online program. In every class, we improve our
English reading comprehension skills using the MCI Comprehension program. This
includes a textbook for reading, writing and word study, and an online program
where students work at their own pace.
