Congratulations to our POP award winner Beth Klamo! As our EL teacher, Mrs. Klamo truly shines when she is working with students who not only are learning our curriculum,but also so many aspects of the English language. We’re so lucky to have her as a part of our #PickElem team!

Ghanaian student, Annie, brought in a dashiki to share w/ her class. Her mom prepared a lunch of jollof for her teachers, Mrs. Spencer & Mr. Hentemann. Annie & Aicha shared a bit of the jollof & facts about Ghana with Dr. MH. We love learning about where our Ss come from! 💜

I am thankful for the opportunity to do more inclusion this year with teachers who have EL students in their classrooms. Thank you @Tracy56951768 for coming in to model different ways to co-teach with @GranadosVE2 ‘s 2nd graders :)
