Latinos In Action @Dsmeast are stepping up in a big way. desmoinesregister.com/picture-galler…
The best part about world languages is that language learning happens with any content. The Spanish and Art classes @LHSrails collaborated to share Latin American legends with their school.
Languages, cultures, and people are are always intertwined. @MeredithHuskies Spanish teachers- including @iwla Middle Level T of the Year- raised funds to support Puerto Rico through the latest hurricane. Great turn out and raised $400! @DMschools
Enjoying Chinese class @DMPS_Academy. Student listen, read, and co-create a story before reviewing the work as a whole. Listen-Read-Think-Write-Speak is in full swing.
DMPS teachers accepted awards and a grant to host middle school Spanish Olympics. @DMschools @DM_North @HoytMS @HardingWolfPack @MeredithHuskies
Input-process-write-share is important in all languages for all learners. This cycle can happen in 10 minutes, doesn’t need to be complicated and over multiple days. Teachers used multimedia texts, reflected, wrote, and shared with each other about best practices in WL teaching
Getting in all four skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) doesn’t take long in French class. Students did a read> think> write> speak cycle in 10 minutes @DMPS_Academy
Sharing opinions in the TL using phrases in highly familiar contexts after lots of input and scaffolds. Students did a great job @DM_North responding and sharing.
You know it’s a good day when you see our world language community and engagement before entering the classroom. @DM_North has some great Spanish teachers on- board!
It feels good to be back at it. Spanish class @MerrillMustangs is under way with fun, language, and high expectations. All learners learn. Read, listen, write, speak.
District PD- where sharing is caring. Teachers sharing their expertise and ready to welcome all students to multilingual spaces. Photo credit: @RubyRedTeacher
East High School has partnered with Iowa Legal Aid to create our free School Law Clinic. This clinic will provide free legal services to all DMPS students, parents & families. The clinic will be open every first Wednesday of each month from 9am - 1pm.
