Example// students create an identity book that is reflective of who they are, their culture, pictures, traditions, etc]]> 2019-04-16 22:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandria_divenosa/uf1n58f0mfni/wish/352148296 alexandria_divenosa https://padlet.com/alexandria_divenosa/uf1n58f0mfni/wish/352149389 ~ Knowledge of letter-sound relationships

The reason being are the following:
~ it allows the child to explain their thinking and understanding without the barrier of their limited  English proficiency
~ eases social and emotional transition into a new school
~ provides cultural stability and continuity
~ provides other students with an awareness for a culturally diverse classroom

It must be noted that teachers must monitor and explain to the child when it is appropriate for him/her to use their first language
