Creating the Bridge Between Spanish and English

Help me give my students easier access to bilingual classroom work during their center time. The pocket chart will give the classroom a place to compare the languages side by side.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I work in a Dual Language classroom with students who have diverse skills in both the English and Spanish language. The students work with me (the English dominant teacher) and my co-teacher (the Spanish dominant teacher). The nature of our classroom involves a lot of center work time where the students have the opportunity to interact and teach each other their strengths in either language. As bilingual learners, I'm always impressed by them and how they are able to apply their knowledge of both languages to aid in their own learning, the learning of their fellow classmates, and have often helped me in my own journey to continue improving my Spanish.

My Project

The students in our classroom are bilingual and working hard to make sense of the two languages they are developing. We are hoping that this project will continue to support their growth.

Dual Language education leans heavily on the concept of Bridging (creating a side by side comparison of the two languages) as well as giving the students meaningful context to use both languages.

The pocket chart will give the students a meaningful visual and comparison of the two languages by putting vocabulary words and images from the week side by side. The other materials help them to have meaningful center work time, where students can use the language and work with the two languages with other students.

Thank you for your consideration of this project!
