Long-term risk: By middle school (ask @dobieATX @burnetms or @webbwildcats053) there is no option to test in Spanish & insufficient English vocab leads to deficits. No one holds @AISDMultilingue or the LPACs accountable. @teainfo #literacy #BilingualEd 5/5

Explore Spanish Language and Culture After reading <strong>Just In Case: A Trickster Tale and Spanish Alphabet Book</strong> by Yuyi Morales, students build Spanish language and vocabulary skills through the creation of a word wall and an ABC book.

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with creativity and culture!

Read "Just In Case" by Yuyi Morales, then have students create a personal Spanish word wall to build language + vocabulary skills.

Each child in our classroom community represented themself with an important object to reveal their identity. The background shows the trees, creek, and bridge at our school which are so important to our community. The painting uses bold colors and stylized faces based on José Ramírez’ work.

Portrait by José Ramírez of a woman dressed in purple with a book

José Ramírez’ children’s books are wonderful complements to our study of systems & relationships in the desert & our community. Kids also created an #art piece w/ self portraits placed on a canvas w/our school in the background. Shit’s dark but children are bright lights. #bilingualed #duallanguage

May the 4th be with your small groups, sentence stems, and structured talk time.

There’s always one student who barely spoke in August…
and now won’t stop raising their hand.

We forget how far they’ve come—until they remind us.

This Earth Day, let's remember that the planet isn’t the only thing worth sustaining. 🌎

Sustain home languages.
Sustain cultural identities.
Sustain student voice.

Multilingual classrooms are ecosystems too. 🌿

The best end-of-year feedback?
When a student explains a science concept using words they couldn’t even pronounce in October.

That’s not just content. That’s language. That’s learning.
