I thought you'd be interested to know that a photograph of the "Where Will Language Take You?" bulletin board at Richmond Drive Elementary School (seen below) is currently the "Feature Picture" on the "Discover Languages" web site . February has been designated as Discover Languages Month by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. The "Discover Languages" campaign is a sustained campaign designed to raise public awareness of the importance of language learning and cultural understanding for all Americans. I hope you will take a few minutes to visit the site and learn more about the campaign.
Creating this bulletin board is only one of the activities we are carrying out this month to highlight our language program. Earlier this month one of the student videos from Richmond Drive was chosen as one of nine finalists in the elementary category of the ACTFL National Podcast Contest and then featured in an article in The Herald and in a story on CN2. Additionally, all of our 3rd-5th grade students recently took home and hung up brightly colored mailbox banners proclaiming that "A student learning another language lives here!"
Best,
