Post 1 – Our Stories Through Treasured Objects Children choose or bring a cultural object and share personal stories using multilingual vocabulary cards and sentence starters (“This is special because…”). This supports expressive language and identity.

Post 2 – Find the Letters, Find the Words! Alphabet cards are hidden throughout the room. Children search for and match them to dual-language labels (e.g., “C for car / coche”), enhancing letter recognition and vocabulary.

Post 3 – Read, Play, Pretend! A dramatic play corner includes bilingual books, puppets, and props. Children reenact stories, make new ones, and build narrative skills and print awareness.
