I turned in my computer and badge in Montgomery. @AlabamaAchieves, you have been amazing. I left Gordon-Persons with a tear and smile. The tear - reflecting on my wonderful @ALSDEOSI teammates and our @ALSDEOSL partners. The smile - knowing the great work will continue. Let’s Go!

I wish I could bottle 🧞‍♂️ up the energy in the room yesterday with @DCSdothan! Their school teams came eager to do the work of continuous improvement! The conversations were transparent, sincere, & inspiring! I’m excited for what’s ahead! #ACIPs @ALSDEOSI @MariaLGJohnson @drcoe10

Did you know that children’s language learning occurs along two interconnected pathways? Receptive language - which develops earliest - is the ability to comprehend (incoming) spoken language, while expressive language (outgoing) relates to a child’s ability to communicate his/her thoughts. One important thing for parents to note about receptive language is this: Children are always listening and learning. Always. Even before you might think they are. So choose the language they are exposed to - both in person and via media - very carefully. (Remember too that the things you say to - and about - your child may well become the things they say to/about themselves.) This mom knows the way. Loving her sweet affirmation and her son’s adorable reaction. 🎥 lei.plummer IG
