Bilingual / ESL classes are offered to students whose primary language is
Spanish. This program offers students instruction in Spanish as well as
skill development in English. A long term goal for Love is to offer a two -
way bilingual program to all students so that all students at Love will

society and with diverse populations.

The McNair Foundation
In providing a learning climate for the whole child, Love incorporates fine arts instruction into its curriculum. Our philosophy is that the arts are an essential part of the curriculum. Students are given the opportunity to develop artistic and musical abilities, which will benefit them once they enter the more formal fine arts programs at the middle and high school levels. With the assistance of
the funds provided by McNair Foundation, the Reagan Vertical Team Fine Arts Coordinator,
arranges for all of our students to have an opportunity to participate in fine arts fieldtrips, activities, and performances such as the following:
* Interactive Theater
* The Houston Children's Museum
* The Houston Museum of Fine Arts
* Glassel School of Art
* The Alley Theater
* Young Audiences
* Mobile Art Quest

Mexican Institute of Greater
Houston & Technólogico de Monterrey
Later this
year, Love Elem. will begin a new collaborative effort with the
Mexican Institue of Greater Houston. In
partnership with Monterrey Tech (Instituto Tecnológico y de
Estudios Superiores de Monterrey), a world leader in distance
education and a world-class university accredited in Texas, the
Mexican Institute of Greater Houston is creating a network of
Community Learning Centers/Centros
Comunitarios de Aprendizaje
(CCAs) that provides access to education in Spanish via Internet and
is a realistic option to empower Hispanic parents by accessing
education and setting the example that will, in turn, influence
their children to stay in school avoiding the drop-out option that
hampers their advancement. Love will become one of these
Community Learning Centers. Learn more about this endeavor at http://www.mexico-info.com/cca/

Reading First Grant
More than 35,000 Houston children will get additional help
learning to read because of a nearly $10-million grant awarded as
part of the federal No Child Left Behind education act. The
grant will allow 82 HISD elementary schools to take part
in the “Reading First” program, which is designed to help
children read at or above grade level by the end of the third grade.
“Reading First” was a cornerstone of the No Child Left Behind
Education Act of 2001. Reading First gives every state an
opportunity to use reading programs that research has proven to be
effective. The HISD “Reading First” program will include
instruction in phonics, fluency, vocabulary development, and text
comprehension. The grant will give each school a reading coach.

Love Garden
The Love Elementary Garden was originally created in conjunction with St. Thomas University.
During the first year of our garden, St. Thomas provided equipment and supplies for the project. Love faculty and
staff, students, and parents, along with St. Thomas volunteers provided the man power to
prepare the ground and plant the garden. In subsequent years, The Family
Service Center and the J. B. Corporation along with Love faculty and
students have helped to maintain the garden. Love students have learn about gardening while caring
for the vegetables until harvesting. They have also learned about
taking care of various types of plants and flowers.
