Moving Beyond for Multilingual Learners: The Blog

We love and appreciate our school nurses! When supporting newcomer students (or students newer to their English language journey), it is important to keep a few things in mind.  Check out this resource that you can print for your school nurse, so that they may feel better equipped to serve and support their newcomer students. The front page is a TIP SHEET for school nurses, and the second page is a list of simplified phrases with printer-friendly icons from The Noun Project. You may want to print and laminate this as a two-sided document for easy access for your school nurse. Hope this helps!

I love creating tools that I can reuse again and again. This is one that I used for teaching newcomers story elements using the 5 W Questions (Who, What, Where, When, Why). Aside from Spanish which I translated myself, I have these ready to go in the following languages using AI Translations. As always, I'm always excited to receive feedback and corrections to better serve students- so if you have corrections/edits - please send them my way at carlymspina@gmail.com. THANK YOU!   Russian   Spanish     Ukrainian Portuguese Polish Here's a blank template (with English, the graphics, and a space for an additional language) AND AS A BONUS (because it doesn't fit anywhere else, haha) here is a quick Newcomer-facing BEGINNING DIRECTIONS sheet !
