I am excited to announce a partnership between the University of Chicago Laboratory School and Ray School. Lab School offers Chinese as a Foreign Language and Ray has English as a Second Language students whose native language is Chinese. Teachers from both schools have planned and matched students. Lab students will write to Ray students in Chinese, and Ray students will respond in English. This collaboration will provide authentic interactions with a new language for both parties, allow students to practice writing and reading in a new language, foster empathy for those learning a new language and serve as a community connection beyond our school walls.
