I'm Worried About The Missing Ones bit.ly/2Xv41Sz via @WeAreTeachers This is so true. They don't have to do the work. They don't have to write to ask me questions about work. JUST LET ME KNOW YOU'RE OKAY.

When you can't see them in person, you communicate with your students @214Newcomer @District214 in alternative ways @googlevoice @RemindHQ #remotelearning #214learns

@214Newcomer students collaborating with James Bowey’s “When Home Won’t Let You Stay” exhibit..looking forward to rescheduling this event with our friends @ahml @HUB500

We @214Newcomer are taking this remote learning one step at a time! Using @edpuzzle to review our knowledge. It's awesome to see most students engaged and motivated. I am so proud of them for not giving up!

Take note of this great opportunity to meet our @214Newcomer students and be inspired by their stories!

Happy Valentines Day!

Building bridges, not walls! @214Newcomer teaching and learning dances with our AP Spanish pen pals! @SappLeigh thank you for hosting us! Love how much the kids smiled and laughed!

How cool is this? @AHSD25Westgate and @ArlingtonHtsGov featured on #SuperBowlLIV pre-game show! @ahsd25 @JimmyG_10

Our students presented their how to speeches today in class. They are so brave to stand up and demonstrate their growth in English! @District214 @214Newcomer

Why don't they just learn English?! THEY ARE! Wouldn't it be nice if the US kept up with other countries around the world and cranked out bilingual or multilingual citizens? nbcchicago.com/news/local/cps…

This new study by @UChiConsortium on English Language Learners is groundbreaking! It is proof of what we've always known, that speaking multiple languages is a talent and asset not a deficit. @OLCE_CPS google.com/amp/s/www.nbcc…
