Tigers Are Roaring into Global Learning!
New World Language & Cultures Resource Class Coming to Tabb Elementary
Beginning Fall 2025, Tabb Elementary School is thrilled to launch a World Language & Cultures Resource class for all K–5 students!
This exciting initiative is funded through the 2024 Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) World Language Advancement and Readiness Program (WLARP) Grant, titled “World Wonders.”
DoDEA supports more than 1.1 million military-connected students across the country, and its grant programs empower public schools to provide enriching, research-based opportunities that enhance learning and promote student achievement. The “World Wonders” grant equips our school with the tools and training to offer this meaningful new experience to our Tigers.
A Global Learning Experience for Every Tiger
Our Tigers will embark on a journey around the world by exploring languages, traditions, and cultures through fun, hands-on activities. In this new resource class, students will:
- Learn greetings and vocabulary in different world languages
- Explore global traditions, celebrations, and daily life
- Strengthen communication and comprehension skills
- Build cultural awareness and appreciation
This engaging program is designed to spark curiosity, expand worldviews, and connect students with the richness of our global community.
What to Expect
Through this grant-funded initiative, Tabb Elementary students and staff will benefit from:
- A dedicated World Language & Cultures Resource class during the school day
- Immersive and interactive global learning experiences
- Professional development for teachers to ensure high-quality instruction
- Future enrichment opportunities for families and students outside of school hours
This program supports our commitment to academic excellence and honors the cultural richness of our military-connected community.
Launching Fall 2025
The World Language & Cultures class will begin in the 2025–26 school year. Stay tuned for more details including sample activities, enrichment options, and ways for families to get involved.
