Kid-Inspired Classroom

Context is a super important part of vocabulary mastery. Bringing words to life through stories and conversations can make vocabulary learning so much easier for students because it connects vocabulary to real experiences, giving words emotional power and making them unforgettable. This is how we developed the Kid-Inspired English Language Curriculum. Vocabulary show up again and again throughout lessons in pictures, sentence frames, stories, and discussions.

I made this from the suggestions I saw in a post in our Engaging ELLs group. I love how our teachers support each other and thought this might be a helpful way to put a bunch of the ideas together.
