Did you know that science vocabulary plays a huge role in developing language skills? Our multilingual learners have been diving into a unit on habitats—exploring the animals that live in each, the weather conditions they face, and the unique characteristics that help them survive. These conversations are more than just fun—they’re laying the foundation for understanding key biological science concepts! To wrap up our unit, our beginning multilingual learners explored interactive globes featuring animals around the world, toy animal models, and even created stop motion movies featuring the animals we studied. Science and language truly are the perfect pair! #SpringdaleFamily
