I have an amazing group of second grade students! My students are part of a Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program which allows English learners and English proficient students to receive instruction in English and in mandarin to develop academic proficiency. Like most classrooms I have a very diverse group of students. Both English learners and English proficient students are mixed in the same classroom to promote bilingualism, biliteracy, and multiculturalism. It challenges my students to become fluent in two languages while being held to the same high academic standards. I am very fortunate to teach such self-motivated, hard-working group of students. Their enthusiasm stems from their parents' investment in the DLI program as well as the support they receive from teachers and staff at our school.
