Our Language Philosophy

Avon Elementary School is a community of language learners. We use English and Spanish languages as a medium of inquiry, providing opportunities to challenge, nurture and develop speakers of two languages. We integrate language instruction throughout all of our curriculum. Reading, writing, speaking and listening are integrated throughout all the transdisciplinary programs of inquiry. We view the ongoing language development for all students as a collaborative endeavor involving all staff members, students and parents.

Learning language is integral to the development of personal, cognitive, social and cultural identity, and to make meaning of the world around us. We value students’ mother tongues and believe their background knowledge and experiences can support academic success.
