Learning Academic Language Through Movement
This week the English Language Learners in Grade 5 had fun exploring Maths vocabulary through movement and body shapes.

This learning is more active, more engaging, and allows our students to access the content within a subject more easily.
The students had a lot of fun working together using their bodies to demonstrate the symbols of the four mathematical operations; addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
