@ArturoAlonzoRi1 @KatieToppel @doctora_nature That’s my first question. Assuming it’s one banana, I would have also said 36.

Visuals are powerful💥, especially for teaching #MultilingualLearners. I'm delighted to share with you this VISUAL representation of the many types you can use to support MLs. *Created in collaboration with ideas💡from the fabulous @AndreaHonigsfel.

@lizzo Yesssssss!!!!!!!!!

Update: today I got some exercise, took extra meds, and can swallow without extreme pain *finally* It’s lookin very good, Baltimore! 💖

More peer to peer interaction, structured conversations, content and language objectives, interactive word walls with student work! Yes, let’s keep pushing towards classroom practices that promote intentional language acquisition while simultaneously learning grade level content. English Learners/Multilingual Learners are cognitively capable & given the right conditions they can exceed expectations! Let’s provide high quality instruction that maintains content and amplifies language. #multilingualism #multilingualkids #teachingenglish #teachingideas #teachingresources #teachingkids

@KatieToppel Yes! I agree, the key word strategy should be avoided. While it’s important to teach the meaning of all of these academic vocabulary words, linking one word to a particular operation is detrimental to student problem solving.
