School year ready, set, go!
We’re kicking off the school year at Girls Inc. of Alameda County! As our girls head back to the classroom, they’ll be supported at every grade by the caring staff at Girls Inc. Elementary girls are practicing their reading, acting out stories, and improving their literacy skills, laying the groundwork for future academic success. Middle school girls are jumping into STEM projects including building circuit boards and designing websites. And high school girls are becoming advocates in their communities, receiving academic support for new and challenging classes, and applying to college.
This fall, Girls Inc. is introducing a new dual-immersion English/Spanish literacy curriculum for elementary students. In a new partnership with Bridges Academy in East Oakland, Girls Inc. is piloting this unique program to deepen our commitment and help meet the needs of English Language Learners. To reinforce the proven methodology used in their classrooms and to increase fluency and build language skills, K-2nd grade students will learn in Spanish and 3rd graders will layer in English.
