#The Plurilingual Primary English Classroom: Embracing Linguistic and Cultural Capital through the Home-School Connection and Cultural Responsiveness


Folch i Torres, has one thing that I never seen before, has a website, that they called Netvives , where all the teacher has their own space, for example English has a blog, is a little left, but they have something. (Blogs)
When we record the projects of year 5 and 6 is for that, because we are going to upload all the projects.

Why Netvives is important of Embracing Linguistic and Cultural Capital  through the  Home-School Connection and Cultural Responsiveness??

Because Teachers can share all the new knowledge that they pupils are learning and families can read and speak at home. 

And  what can families do?

Easy, here AMPA has their own space and can share information too.

Aside from this website, this school has a rule, if any children has a problem the same day call to the family, before speak with the pupils, because they don't want to wait because the problem maybe is little but maybe if they wait the problem increase and increase and they don't know where can the problem go. When they explain me, they said: Et diem això des l'experiencia. This sentence goes immediately to my heart, because some schools knows any problem, and they don't do anything, maybe speak with the children but not with the families. 

Another interesting aspect, they use the agenda for connect home and school, if families want to write they can.

About cultural aspects, Folch i Torres has few immigrants, but has a wonderful women that does "Aula d'acollida" "Welcome class or reception class", and she teach Catalan and helps with others subjects (math, science...). She explains me that she has a lot of relation with the families and fortunality they are cooperative families.
