Field Trip to Elementary ELD Sites!
Below is information about our field trips this week. Be sure to bring your drivers license because you might need it to check into the buildings. You should dress like a teacher. Also, bring a notebook and something to write with. The purpose of these visits is to get a taste of how ELL literacy and schooling in general plays out in the "real world." Keep a running list of your questions and observations and be available to help out if a teacher asks you to. When you are observing, be cognizant of not disturbing the flow of the classroom.

**Tuesday Schedule**

8:30 - Everyone meet on campus in our classroom

 8:35 - Everyone //except// for Bethany, Megan, Chase, Tarrah, Max, and Robert will head for Franklin Elementary -- 2627 E. 17th Ave. Spokane, WA 99223 Sign in at the main office. The ELD teacher, Kristina Smith, will meet you there. You will be observing several of her ELD classes as well as some ELLs in mainstream classes. Bring a notebook to jot down your observations and wonderings. Anny will meet you at Franklin later in the morning and do the ELP crash course with you if time permits. You will likely finish about 11:30. (Those of you in early childhood, be sure to let Kristina know you'd like to observe the kindergarten group.)

8:35 - 9:00 - Anny will do a quick ELP standards crash course with the remaining six students.

9:00 - Bethany, Megan, Chase, Tarrah, Max, and Robert head for Audubon Elementary - 2020 W. Carlisle, Spokane 99205. Sign in at the main office and meet Jesica Calkins, the ELD teacher. You will be observing a few children take a computerized standardized assessment, observing one of her ELD classes, and some ELLs in mainstream classes. Bring a notebook to jot down your observations and wonderings. (There will be a lot to learn even from watching the kids take the test.) You will finish around 11:00.
