@WIDA_UW I'd love to attend, but my district, which is woefully understaffed, cannot afford to send me. I'd love to network with others and bring new and excited information and techniques to my district. #WIDA2024

Working on some One Word Goals this week in Community. Now I just have to figure out where to display them. @AntlerAlerts #thrivingelks #mllgoals

Day 1 of White Board Check-ins with Ss this school year. Returning Ss asked Thurs and Fri about check-ins, so I finally got it together for today. I need extra bold dry erase markers so I don't have to do all this scribbling. #thrivingelks @AntlerAlerts

@SenoraRobertson My door window is covered, but the window window is uncovered. I am am a responsible gun owner and a good shot. I'm praying it never gets to the point that we are asked to carry a gun at school.

@HRCraddock I saw that, too. I’ve tried the chair thing and it works. I keep my windows covered 🤞🏼

This summer, I’m making an emergency bucket for my classroom. A 5 gallon bucket. It will have hornet spray, a couple of softballs, some bleed stop, and some tourniquets. I’m sitting here asking myself… how many tourniquets do I need?

Goodbye 21-22!

An Emergent MLS, who has labored with English since arriving in the US in December, cried after school saying, "I have no English all summer. I lose." It's a reminder that they all aren't happy for summer. 🥺🥺 @MooremustangESL @AntlerAlerts

@TeachMrReed They did this...

“The first time I removed my face mask in front of my students…”

When parents send their children off to school in the morning, they shouldn't have to worry they won't come home because of a mass shooting. My heart aches for the parents who didn't know this morning was the last time they would see their child.

@MrsMorganTeach @emilyfranESL @WIDA_UW Thank you!

@HRCraddock @emilyfranESL @WIDA_UW Here’s a link to the WIDA store, where you can purchase the standards book! 😀 wceps.org/store

I got my @WIDA_UW standards guide ready to highlight & write all over it while @MrsMorganTeach is leading our #PLC4newcomers Zoom meeting TODAY!! 🙌🏽📝🖍💻 Let me know if you want to join us 😀 in a couple of hours!!

The #ESLsg guide recommends peer tutors in your #ESL/#ELD class. It was super effective in my ESL block. And here is some great advice from @Larryferlazzo on how to maximize their time to boost writing larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2022/05/18/her… #mllchat_bkclub #ells #mlls @KHullSyp

@PRHSspanish @MmeFarab This is so cool, but I'm crap at building things. Sad. Maybe I can recruit someone.

Okay #langchat - this year I got clipboards - yay! And I want to find a creative way to store them so they are accessible for students. Right now they live in the box they arrived in. 🙃

Emergent Multilingual Learners working on Word/Picture Memoirs. The most important things for them this year were friends, family, and teachers. ❤️ #mightylearners @AntlerAlerts

Just started Beautiful Country by @QianJulieWang. Recommended by @jpcrook and @emilyfranESL - two of my favorite readers! ❤️ #pd4uandme

Such great ideas from @irina_mcgrath #FCPS_ELD

@MsCuzCuz @MundodePepita Yes! I had 15 computer mice donated at the beginning of the year. I have 4 left.

@MundodePepita Yup.RITE there w/U. Done buyin 🖍,glue, markers,✏️, etc so they can throw/destroy them. Breaking 15 headphones+mic no biggie either (50 frm DonorsChoose I did in Dec b/c most/kids didn’t have sets 4 online intervention & testing)… 4 wks 2 go so there will B >⬆️⬇️.No. One.Cares.

#HighlightReal I just have to say, I am just so frustrated w the amount of materials destruction daily..broken crayons, pencils, erasers, visuals crumpled/purposely ripped up, chairs/tables drawn on..you name it. I want to be understanding AND I’m tired of dealing w it.

#LanguageAcquisition is not linear. Speaking, Writing, Reading, & Listening develop at different rates for each student & proficiency levels may change with the task. #MLLChat_BkClub 6.0 #ESLsg @Larryferlazzo @KHullSyp #LanguageLearning #MLL #ELL #ESL

@HughesSS07 I have small dry erase dice that I use almost daily in class. LOVE THEM!

Cool! Middle schoolers would love this!
