My favorite activity to do with my kiddos before thanksgiving break: letters of thanks to their teachers.

We celebrate our names!

Love that my bookcase is filled with culturally responsive books thanks to a grant from my ROE! I lend my books to display in the library for that month’s heritage celebration. First up: Hispanic Heritage Month starts today!

@bethhill2829 In New York (Long Island), going for a run, excited for my 2nd day of graduate classes at Hostra where I was going back for my TESOL degree. Classes were canceled the rest of the week. All we heard were fighter jets patrolling the skies all day.

I was in my classroom reading a book to my second grade students who were gathered on the carpet with me. Where were you? #NeverForget

@BrianFaulkner44 Aw, it’s Ivan! He’s always got the best shoes.

This student came running over to show me we are rocking the same 1’s today. #awesomeness #kanelandpride

Another great use of a hallway bulletin board. Change it every month with that month’s heritage celebration!

@costalbendnewby Please do!

😍 this. I’m going to borrow it 😃

@MrsUriaESL @emilyfranESL Borrow away!

@MrsNovayESL @emilyfranESL I love this!! Especially the speech bubbles beside the flags! I may have to borrow this idea! 🤗🤗
