Hi/ Hola/Ciao/Jambo/ Marhabaan
My name is Miss Michelle (Dr. Michelle Daly) I love to travel and learn about cultures and languages. Some of the places where I have traveled to are: Japan, Panama, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Italy to name a few. The languages I speak are Spanish and Italian.
I am the bilingual coordinator/ELPT at Budlong Elementary School in Chicago, IL (CPS network 2).
This is my 15th year as a teacher in Chicago Public Schools. I teach two newcomer EL groups and also support the teachers and staff with strategies and resources for students learning English.
The students and staff at Budlong speak over 30 languages! I also support the bilingual advisory council (BAC) working with bilingual students' parents, the ILT, and the administration team. My favorite event at Budlong is the annual international day which is held every May. Each classroom selects a different country and studies the traditions, customs, music, and history. Students even wear authentic attire and accessories. The class becomes "experts" of the country and then decorate their classroom in a very festive manner. They also select an activity such as a game/dance/or craft to teach other students. The day includes an opening ceremony with dances and speakers in the auditorium. Then, there is a visit schedule so students can learn about all of the countries from each other, and travel with their homeroom to other classrooms. Parents are also encouraged to visit our school on this special day. Finally, the parents are invited to participate in a culminating showcase of cultural foods at a food tasting. This is a great multicultural culinary experience made by our school community. Parents cook and share a dish from their own cultural background and try different foods in the multipurpose room. It is so much fun to participate in this school wide global adventure! You feel like you have traveled around the entire world without leaving the school!
Please check out some of the resources on this site.
Have a great day!
Muchas gracias :-)
