Just a little note!
Over the next 2 months, we will be assessing our emergent bilingual students on their listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English via Telpas. One way that we can reach these students is by knowing their levels of proficiency and accommodating instruction to meet their needs. I would absolutely love to help you plan lessons to help meet the needs of our emergent bilinguals. I am just a text, email, or phone call away!
Thank you for all that you do for the students of La Vernia ISD. We truly appreciate you!
Instructional Strategy: Cooperative Learning
if you would like me to come model one of the strategies for you, I would love to!! Please email me (linsay.humphrey@lvisd.org) and we can set up a time.
Summit K12
We are excited to be starting the Summit K12 program in our district. The goal of this program is for students to build their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in English. Each of our emergent bilingual students should be logging on for a total of 30-45 minutes per week.
Below is a video to explain how the program works. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or if I can support you in any way. I am excited to see the growth in our students!
