English language learners celebrate Summer Jumpstart Program completion with treats
Students in the Summer Jumpstart Program for English Language Learners celebrated the completion of the program on July 31.
The students were surprised with a special sweet treat from Kona Ices and they were able to choose which flavor they wanted.
The program aimed to provide students with enrichment through engaging activates and targeted learning opportunities. The program was also created is to combat the “summer slide,” and not be half a year behind when school starts back up in the fall.
The students took a reassessment test to view their growth in reading and writing, vocabulary, and a collaborative environment.
Marianella Mena, sixth grade bilingual education teacher noted how beneficial the program was for the kids.
