Loya Primary Eagles’ First Flight!
Lorenzo G. Loya Primary prepares for the youngest of San Elizario’s Eagle students to take their first flight as they begin the new school year 2020-21. Even though our start will begin quite different from previous years, the importance of establishing a strong connection with our students is our number one priority. Our teachers will be anxiously waiting to connect with students and families through on-line personalized Google Classrooms.
Our focus in our online learning is to ensure we are providing students with the best interactive lessons that involve early literacy skills in order to prepare them with a strong foundation of reading as they begin their education in the San Elizario ISD. Teachers will be communicating with students and parents through Google Meets and ClassDojo to teach them phonemic awareness and number sense while developing their oracy skills.
New this year - we will begin the Dual Language Program for both of our 3 and 4-year old’s in our bilingual classes. Our 3-year old’s will be introduced to the model of 90 / 10, where 90% of instruction will be in the student’s native language of Spanish, while 10% of learning will be in English. The 4-year old ‘s will be challenged with the model of 50 / 50, where 50% of instruction will be in English and the 50% of instruction will be in Spanish. Our teachers received training during the spring and summer to enhance their teaching craft in order to follow the 3 pillars of the Dual Language Program. The 3 pillars focus on Bilingual and Biliteracy, High-Academic Achievement and Sociocultural Competence. We are looking forward to establishing a strong foundation for our students, all while embracing their culture and language.
We look forward to working together with our families, whether through online learning or face to face instruction; TEAM Loya is ready to guide our little Eagles on their first flight!
