"You can never understand one language until you understand at least two."
Dear Nuestro Mundo Families and Friends,
At NM, students learn in two languages every day. Through biliteracy instruction, they make meaningful cross-linguistic connections that strengthen understanding in both languages. But language development is only one pillar of a strong dual language program. The other is high academic achievement.
Mastering the Common Core standards while simultaneously acquiring a new language takes dedication, collaboration, and support from an entire community. It truly takes a village.
That is why this year we have expanded our support systems. We have added Learning Academies after school and during school breaks, along with additional tutors who provide targeted small-group instruction to ensure every student can thrive.
We are deeply grateful for our village — our generous donors, engaged families, supportive community members, and our exceptional staff — who make this work possible every day.
We appreciate and depend on support from you. Consider donating to NM here➞
The Invasive Green Crab
Our middle school students had the opportunity to participate in lessons on the invasive green crab last week, covering many science standards on ecology and biology. We didn't get to eat any this time, but maybe next time 😋
Learning Academies
Today marks the conclusion of our first Learning Academy held during a school vacation — and it was a tremendous success!
Our teachers did an outstanding job delivering focused reading comprehension instruction. Students were highly engaged throughout the program and demonstrated meaningful growth, as reflected in their post-assessment results.
We’re excited to build on this momentum in April. Our April Vacation Learning Academy will follow a similar structure and schedule (see below), with a targeted focus on strengthening math skills.
There are still some open spots left!
