Jenny, if your district uses Renaissance Learning's STAR tests, you can purchase an add-on vocabulary program called English in a Flash. We use this as an ELL support.

Subject: [CASL-L] Resources for Spanish speaking students
Dear colleagues,

This year for the first time we have students (first grade) who are spanish speakers and I am looking for great resources to support their learning. They are learning to read (cannot read English or Spanish).

I have shared Epic, Tales2Go, PebbleGo, and Worldbook with their teachers. 

Are their other websites that you would recommend? Places to get books that would support them?

Thank you in advance!

Jenny

This may not be relevant, but when I had primary students who came straight from China without any English, I gave them a camera.  They captured things around the school, at lunch, at recess, etc. that they wanted to learn the words for.  They took pictures of signs, posters, equipment, teachers, etc.  They then made their own "dictionary" using tech with images and we helped with words.  It was awesome!

Subject: [CASL-L] Looking for fancy aisle sign vendors
Hi librarians!

We recently renovated our library space and are looking to purchase some frame signage for our aisles.
Can anyone recommend any vendors besides Demco or The Library Store?
Company just needs to accept purchase orders.
Thanks!

Hi Jenny,

Do any of these seem helpful to you?

Hello All:  I am sharing this because according to Google Maps, Pine Plains is just TWELVE miles west of Salisbury, CT in the Northwest Corner of CT.
Lots of time to share with your students (and their families) who love the Wimpy Kid series.  
FYI:  Multiple copies of these titles were always checked out and/or requiring repair from frequent use in my Middle School Library Media Center!

Happy Reading.
Shelley Stedman
