Spring Has Sprung!


Welcome to April! We have officially made it to Spring
even though Mother Nature seems to have other plans for us. With Spring starting, this is a great time to discuss gardening and spring cleaning with your classes. We also have the start of Ramadan (April 2nd) and Easter (April 17th). Ellii (formerly ESL Library) has lessons on both these topics at various levels. Let's not forget about Earth Day on April 22nd.


For fun, in April you can also celebrate:


Apr. 1: Sweet Potato Day

Apr. 6: International Pillow Fight Day

Apr. 7: National No Housework Day

Apr. 17: Blah, Blah, Blah Day

Apr. 21: Go Fly a Kite Day

Apr. 26: National Richter Scale Day

Apr. 27: National Sense of Smell Day


I came across this resource: Online Resources_16_CLB Ref Rubrics for PBLA in MS Word.pdf (languagepeelhalton.ca).  This links you to various PBLA rubrics and also rubric generating tools by level and skill in Tutela.


As always, please continue sharing resources you come across. Big shout out to Kate for sharing her April lesson plans. 


Don’t forget to check out Danielle’s Avenue post.


Please feel free to reach out to either Haleema or myself for any PBLA related questions or concerns.


Have a great month!


Marina and Haleema
