RI elementary schools should include World Languages: Letters

Elementary students should be introduced to World Languages What if children in Rhode Island had the opportunity to start learning another language in kindergarten instead of waiting until middle or high school? As someone who speaks Spanish and Portuguese, has a Master's degree in World Language Education, and is a mother, I believe this is an idea worth considering. First, I want to recognize the hard work of our schools, teachers and administrators. My intention is not to criticize what schools are doing, but to share an idea that could create opportunities for our students. In many schools, students begin learning a world language in middle or high school. I wonder what would happen if we introduced languages much earlier, starting in elementary school. My interest in this topic also comes from my family experience. Spanish and Portuguese were spoken in our home when my son was growing up. However, much of his exposure outside the home was in English. He watched television in English, listened to music in English and experienced English in many parts of his daily life. When he started school, his teachers initially thought English was his second language. Watching him grow up surrounded by three

Coventry Permit Reviews Don't Flag Land Under Conservation Easements

Coventry pays landowners for conservation easements that bar development, but a participant at the Land Trust's Monday meeting said they would not check a house application for an easement, though a subdivision application on protected land would raise flags. A house could be applied for and built before anyone noticed, the participant said. Members asked that easement properties be flagged in permitting records. One member doubted the volunteer board can inspect every easement property each year. No vote was taken.

Glackin odd man out for council

As ballots continue to trickle into the state’s Board of Elections, the leading candidates for town council remain the same as on election night. The lone incumbent, Democrat Mary Glackin, is currently on the outside looking in. Although the state has not yet certified the election, it appears she will not be re-elected to her second term, as canvassing clerk Keith Ford said he only has five pending overseas ballots. Three of those ballots, moreover, are qualified for federal offices only.
