Abstract
With ethnographic data from a 5th grade bilingual cohort, this work shows how exploring content in various languages and varieties simultaneously, and in various modalities (music, video, symbol representations), teachers can support students in acquiring new linguistic structures. These translanguaging pedagogies leverage students' familiar language practices to expand their repertoires.
