About the Project

The Building Bridges program connects Rosedale’s dual immersion third graders with students from Chico Junior High to enhance learning through engaging, hands-on science experiences. Junior high students—both in immersion and non-immersion Science and Social Studies classes—will design and lead interactive lessons that reinforce core standards for both grade levels. This cross-age collaboration offers Rosedale students personalized support and opportunities to explore scientific concepts through inquiry and experimentation, while junior high students deepen their understanding and build leadership skills. By promoting science learning, bilingualism, and socio-cultural competence, Building Bridges fosters academic growth, peer connection, and enthusiasm for continued dual immersion education.
