Group Work and Presentation

In geography class, Ms. Loftis gives students worksheets with questions about pollution. After that, she asks them to work in small groups to answer a few of the questions together. To help them learn better, she allows the students to use tools like Google or AI to search for information and find the correct answers. 

When it is time to present, each group writes down their answers and explains them to the class. While presenting, they try to use simpler words or synonyms to explain any difficult terms. They also include pictures in their presentations to help others understand their ideas more clearly. 

This teaching method helps students learn in a deeper way. It breaks down complex topics into smaller, easier parts. It also helps students practice teamwork, research skills, and public speaking. Most importantly, it makes sure they truly understand the topic—not just memorize the answers. Thanks, Ms. Loftis! 

Library Time Fun 

Students in Ms. Gleason’s class are having so much fun reading their books in the library. Every Monday, the students go to the library. They are encouraged to choose books they like to read. 

The library is always a fun time of the day for the students. They can choose books they like and read with their friends on the blue carpet. They can read books at home with parents and siblings, too!

Many students enjoy reading picture books or graphic novels. They also like reading about sports, animals, and musicians. 

Students get to choose from many different kinds of books. The library has something for everyone! The library also has books in many different languages. Happy Reading!

Newcomer classrooms are welcoming. Students work together and make friends. They are a community. Students respect themselves and others. They listen to each other, and they listen to the teacher. Everyone knows learning English is hard work, so they help each other.

Teachers welcome all students. They are kind and hard-working. Most importantly, they set an example for the students to help each other learn and to try new things. Ms. Samit, at Phoenix High School, is a newcomer herself. When she shares her stories, students listen to her and learn from her experience. Her stories set an example and help students share their own stories.  Thanks, Ms. Samit!
