This week was a hit! #ESL Teachers are magical 🪄✨ people so of course, @MrsBallonESL and I wanted to be Cosmo and Wanda from Fairly Odd Parents this year. Additionally, Grades 3-5 #MLLs loved experiencing the @tenementmuseum in NYC! @LincolnSchool8

In the spirit of #hispanicheritagemonth, I’m sharing this infographic eñ español. Emergent bilingual students need: ⛰️High expectations to shine. ♥️Love from educators. 🌱A growth mindset to understand the learning process. 🪜Support as they go through the journey. 🕊️Opportunities to listen, speak, read, write but also to spread their wings and try new things. 💫Role models that show them the possibilities. #teachingideas #teachingresources #teachingkids #bilingual_kids #bilinguismo #bilingue #bilingüe #bilingüismo #duallanguageteacher
