Fifth-grade learners at Denton Creek Elementary are putting their bilingual skills into action by volunteering in dual language kindergarten classrooms as part of their efforts to earn the Seal of Biliteracy. Under the guidance of teacher Christine Scovill, the fifth-graders help kindergarten learners recognize numbers 0–10 in Spanish through hands-on activities using base-ten blocks, Unifix cubes and interactive math mats. Together, they build and compare quantities, identify numerals and practice greater-than and less-than concepts while strengthening their Spanish language skills. The visits also create meaningful connections between older and younger learners, giving kindergarteners positive role models while allowing fifth-graders to demonstrate patience, kindness and leadership. This cross-grade collaboration reflects the spirit of bilingualism and community that makes Denton Creek's dual language program special.
