The Language Policy and What That Means in Our Classroom:
The Language Policy and What That Means in Our Classroom:
In our classroom.... Language is part of our curriculum. In 4th grade, we introduce weekly vocabulary words from the texts we read, encourage the use of content area vocabulary, and push students to extend their thinking while communicating their ideas. In math we are using language to explain our work in math. For example, explain how you got your answer, tell us how to solve this answer. We also believe in ewncouraging use of other languages, our classrooms have thing labeled in different languages, we have anchor charts and posters that help us to use language to explain our thinking.
