Thompson ELL

First step for building a strong community in the English Language Learners classrooms: Celebrate our diverse backgrounds, share where we come from, where our families come from, and what languages we speak. #ell #thesekidsareamazing @ThompsonSchool1

Today, 5th graders made [homemade] salt dough maps of the U.S. to help them learn about landforms and National Parks! #elbowdeepinlearning

We ARE the world! In preparation for the 2018 Olympics, Thompson ELLs share their stories and countries’ flags! #Celebratediversity #ELL

Despite being tested more than most of their peers, Thompson #ELL students keep their positive attitudes day after day! #testingtesting123

Across grade levels, Thompson ELLs are working hard on their unique final projects for our plant unit! #ELL #differentiation @MrsCoveno108

The first day of creating plant books - based on these original masterpieces, we can't wait to see how they turn out! #studentdrivenlearning

First graders using #scientific vocabulary, like "predict" and "observe" in ELL. #smartypants @ThompsonSchool1

Becoming botanists in ELL! One student's career day scientist outfit was simply perfect for our activity. #becomingbotanists #ell 🌿🌱🍃

Kindergarten ELLs hard at work painting and discussing their favorite scene from Mo Willems' "City Dog, Country Frog."

Where in the world are YOU from? Thompson's ELL classroom is a global community! #ELL #multicultural @ThompsonSchool1
