Miss Perez’s class participated in a Math Biliteracy Day activity! Today our Kindergarten students were number detectives. They participated in a math walk around the classroom stations and were able to see and discuss how numbers are the same and different in English and Spanish. These “Metalinguistic Moments” help students bridge the gap between both languages!
