These students are either ELL (English Language Learners) and have moved here from a Spanish-speaking country, or they are from Norwalk and speak Spanish regularly in their homes. The curriculum for the heritage classes contains a heavy reading and writing foundation. In my opinion, Duolingo has more of an emphasis on writing and reading, which matches perfectly with the heritage Spanish curriculum.]]> 2016-12-04 21:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/frenche1/n8pbkeo2x5wx/wish/141627000 frenche1 https://padlet.com/frenche1/n8pbkeo2x5wx/wish/141628433 - Warm-Up Activities
