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

Hardwood Flooring: Six Solid Choices for Your Home

- When it comes to home flooring, solid American Hardwoods™ have been our gold standard since the nation’s founding—and they still are. Few materials can match the durability of oak, walnut, maple, ash, and other favorite species, which can be sanded and refinished for decades, outlasting kids, pets, foot traffic, and trends—and somehow looking better for it. They’re also remarkably practical, available in multiple widths, grades, and finishes, and easy to install. “American hardwoods are grown, harvested, and milled right here, giving architects and builders a reliable, high-quality supply,” notes Ian Faight of the American Hardwood Information Center. “Nothing rivals hardwood’s warmth and natural variation, and as a low-emission, renewable resource, it supports healthier interiors and everyday well-being.” Here are six examples of what it can do for your home.

In 2008, Bruce Mastracchio established the East Greenwich High School Wall of Honor to celebrate alumni who have distinguished themselves through leadership, achievement, service, and character—preserving our history to inspire future generations. He purposely did not create a wall of fame, although there are some famous people on the wall. Rather, he was looking to highlight those with individuals who do honor in their little (or big) part of the world.

Lindemann ’29: Crisis pregnancy centers are a threat Rhode Island can’t ignore

The Ocean State helped buoy the blue wave that swept the nation on Nov. 3. The Democratic nominee for governor, Helena Foulkes, won her race by over 100,000 votes. The Democrats running for the Senate, the House and Attorney General also won their races. None of these victories are surprising — we live in one of the bluest states in the country. Especially when it comes to pro-choice legislation, Rhode Island is extremely liberal. In 2019, the state codified the protections of Roe v. Wade into state law, and in 2024, we established legal protections for clinicians and prohibited legal action targeting legally provided health care.
