One of the frustrations I have with my job is that my students' parents do not participate in school activities. I believe that this is, largely, because they don't know what is happening around school. A friend recently suggested asking our international school for help with translated documents. Since they have translators on staff, I hoped that they would share- and they did! I am including the signage for school locations in a link, here, so that anyone who wants can use them! The languages included are Arabic, Somali, Burmese and Karen. I am hoping that I can enlist other parents to supply other languages as well- although we have 26 and that might be tough to squeeze onto an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper!
Translated Signage
Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteI've had been reading your blog in the past, and a couple days ago my chiropractor said he wanted to put me in touch with you, since we teach different ages of the same population. I teach adults with the Adult Ed dept of BPS, and I teach a newcomer class that lasts 2 months. I'd love to chat to see if there are ways we could connect and help each other! I wouldn't be surprised if some of my students are your students' parents.
