GrapeSEED for K-2 Students
The students in kindergarten and first grade are participating in a new curriculum called GrapeSEED. Each student will receive take home materials and will practice this material at home and at school. During class time, students will practice learning poems, chants, songs, and stories. There are five units in this curriculum. When the unit is complete the ELL teacher will contact the parents and ask them to return the unit their child is working on in order to receive the next unit.
