Be Thankful Without Being Hurtful. Teaching Thanksgiving Responsibly This Year I remember learning about the first Thanksgiving in school.
Half of the kids in my classroom made paper pilgrim hats.The other half made “Indian” head dresses with feathers. Our teacher gave us pumpkin pie and snacks as our “Thanksgiving feast.” We also made turkey crafts out of tracing our hands. As a fourth grader, I remember believing that the Native American and White colonist relationship consisted of peacefully gathering together to have a jolly time eating turkey and expressing their thanks.

What is translanguaging? – EAL Journal. ‘Translanguaging’ – the use of different languages together – can be a powerful tool for learning … but it can also go against the grain for language teachers who are used to supporting learners to master the intricacies of a single language.

Voices. EJ1048612 - Supporting English and Spanish Literacy through a Family Literacy Program, School Community Journal, 2014. Family literacy studies have shown that the role of parental storybook reading has an impact on children's success in school-based literacy instruction.
However, many children who are English language learners come from homes or cultures where storybook readings are not common practice. The purpose of this qualitative research study explored the effects of an eight-week bilingual family literacy program for Latino, English learning families. Triangulation was assured through multiple sources of data: semistructured interviews conducted with participating parents; parent evaluation surveys; and researcher field notes.
During the implementation of the bilingual family literacy program and the analysis of the data, three themes emerged: maintaining the first language, practicing what I have been taught, and the importance of time. Implications for educators are discussed. Academic Development Institute. 121 North Kickapoo Street, Lincoln, IL 62656.
