🏠 How to Support at Home

💬 Ask About Their Learning

Instead of "What did you learn today?", try:

  • • "What question are you investigating this week?"
  • • "What project did you choose? Why?"
  • • "What was the most interesting thing you discovered?"

📖 Read Together in Any Language

Reading in Chinese supports English development! Any reading builds language skills and background knowledge.

🎨 Encourage Project Work

Provide materials, space, and time for your child to work on their projects. Show interest in what they're creating!

💪 Celebrate Effort, Not Just Results

Praise persistence, trying new strategies, and learning from mistakes. This builds a growth mindset!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why project-based learning for English learners?

Research shows ESL students learn language 2x faster when using it for real purposes. Projects give authentic reasons to communicate.

Q: What if my child struggles with the project?

All projects have support built in. Your child gets help during class, has scaffolding at their level, and can ask for teacher conferences.

Q: How do I know what my child is learning?

Check this website for unit overviews, view their work on Seesaw portfolio, and attend parent-teacher conferences.

Q: Should I help with homework?

You can support by providing time and space, but let your child do the work. It's okay if it's not perfect - mistakes help learning!
