WSFCS Multilingual Learners

Summer school is in full swing, and the fun is just getting started! 🎉

Students in Ms. Beryl Russell's class are learning through games, laughter, and teamwork every day. Just look at those happy faces! 😊 There's nothing better than spending the summer in a classroom filled with new friends, engaging activities, and a teacher who knows how to make learning fun.

Way to go, Ms. Russell, for creating a classroom where students are excited to learn and make lasting summer memories! 💙📚🎲

🐉✨ Dragons, crystals, and imagination... summer school doesn't get much better than this!

Students in Jenny Jacobs' summer class are reading Dragon Masters, and Mrs. Jacobs found a fun way to bring the story to life. Each student received their own crystal necklace and then created a dragon of their very own! They gave their dragons names, imagined special powers, and wrote all about them.

One of the best things about reading is getting lost in a story, and these students are doing so much more than just reading—they're becoming part of the adventure!

We love seeing our ML students learning, creating, and having fun all at the same time. 🐲📚💎

Summer learning is in full swing! ☀️📚✏️

Our ML students are staying engaged this summer through reading, writing, and meaningful conversations. In Jennifer Clay's classroom, students have been participating in a daily "Question of the Day" activity, sharing their ideas, practicing their language skills, and building confidence as readers and writers.

Learning is happening, friendships are growing, and fun is definitely part of the experience! We are so proud of our students and grateful for our dedicated teachers who create engaging opportunities for language development all summer long.

Yesterday we had our End-of-the-Year Celebration with our amazing ESL/ELD teachers!

We recognized the teachers who are retiring at the end of this school year (pictured with flowers), teachers who will be moving into different positions, districts, or even states next year (also celebrated with flowers, although not pictured), and all of our wonderful ESL/ELD colleagues who will continue another year of teaching and learning with us.

We didn’t take many pictures because we were too busy socializing, laughing, celebrating, and enjoying time together. 😊

A HUGE thank you to our incredible community partners for helping make this celebration special:
🌸 Imagine Learning for providing refreshments and sweet treats
🥐 Trader Joe's-Winston Salem,NC for donating pastries
💐 Florist at Adolfos creation LLC; The florist at Harris Teeter; The florist at Harris Teeter Thank you all for generously providing flowers for our teachers.
