This week I had the pleasure of attending two fantastic learning events at Red Bank Elementary. The fourth grade team collaborated across all content areas on their Westward Expansion unit which culminated in a Musical presentation of "To the West." After the musical, fourth grade immersion students presented their interactive, multi-media projects in Spanish and English on various aspects of Westward expansion, also integrating topics such as animals and their habitat, food groups as well as the types of home and weather conditions from that geographical region during that time period.
I also got to witness first grade Spanish immersion students sharing their integrated science and literacy unit on plants with the immersion kindergarteners. They performed a poem, then they shared photos of the plants they grew along with drawings and observations. They also read books about plants to their kindergarten friends. It was inspiring to say the least to see how teachers are integrating content, language and literacy. Great job Red Bank! Thanks for all your hard work.

I am so glad to see familiar faces from when I was at RBE. I can see how kids are growing, but mostly glad to see that they are still learning Spanish.
