If you work in a bilingual, dual language or multilingual setting, you probably have set colors for each language, like black for english and red for Spanish for example. And maybe you set up your classroom to match, then move to a new school with a whole new set of color rules. I've been there! 🫠 That's why I added a variety of color coded options to this freebie set of basket and bin labels. Honoring the language, staying consistent in how we display it, and including children in the process will help students organize it visually, and also be meaningful when they reference it. For example, you can also use a red marker to write down a child's dictation spoken in Spanish, and a black marker for a dictation in English. So when children (or anyone) see the web of ideas, language is clearly and immediately identified. Having worked in only bilingual and dual language settings, this was my default way of approaching language, so you'll see me offer various color options for that reason, I know how important it is and I also know, we don't always have time to do it. How are you using the labels, show us your setups! 📸
