I never thought that after 17 yes I’d leave teaching, but I’m excited for the new opportunity to use my bilingual skills for a different purpose and audience #humanresources #training #bilingual #leadership #development facebook.com/11333727671644…

@MundodePepita @arctic_today I did contact an org in Alaska. They didn’t have volunteer opportunities but they are sending some stuff, which is super cool

@arctic_today And this one @WescottSpanish

A new Inuit-led research program is funding nearly a dozen projects across Canada’s North that range from Arctic char health to Beluga gene sampling to disease contact tracing. arctictoday.com/arcticnet-laun…

Anyone know a #climate #scientist that focuses in the #arctic or #antartica?? My kid wants to study ice & snow - would love to connect him @jablock2000

Birthday teaching at its best! Coffee, cart and balloons! Off we go :) #d30learns

@wescott5B taking advantage of a beautiful day to work on our “10 Things About Me” video projects #d30learns

Taste the rainbow! Rainbows w fruit kebabs that is. 1st and 2nd grade cooking club was full of color this week! #d30learns

So much fun in 1st grade cooking club making candy sushi! #d30learns

Taking advantage of the sun to ask our friends about their activity preferences #d30learns #langchat #earlylang

1st day of 1st grade cooking club was a success! We decorated aprons, colored the cover to our recipe book and measured out trail mix. We thought about all the yummy things we might add next time like marshmallows or cheese crackers #d30learns

3rd graders embark on a QR code scavenger hunt about animals #d30learns

@ProfeDeAngelo @teacher2teacher @tjeag @jaslyn4ESL @MsRichmond227 @iTeachiLearn01 @yya2 @ProfesoraRadek @KatieLeslieESL @MsAbeja @SrtaDiCianni Miaucoles miércoles (cat meme) or a baile viernes is fun too!

@WescottSpanish @teacher2teacher @tjeag @jaslyn4ESL @MsRichmond227 @iTeachiLearn01 @yya2 @ProfesoraRadek @KatieLeslieESL @MsAbeja @SrtaDiCianni I do the same! Weather, date, and emotions (how do you feel today) to start every class. Sometimes I pop a meme or a news headline or a tweet in Spanish in between the warm up spots on the formative, too :)

Let's start a thread! What warm-up activities would you recommend for first-year world language classes? Educator @tjeag is looking for ideas that promote self-regulation for high school Ss – add yours below! #InstantPD #LangChat #iteachspanish #tlap

@teacher2teacher @HandsOnilm @BilingualCDiaz @CaceresSuzy @CarmenP503 @rozanajohnson @LaMaestraFausto @ladylanguage411 @yya2 @MsRichmond227 @welangley I’ve created my own breakout rooms using content related to what we study. Last year we converted it all digital so we could still play. Looks at something someone has already done and the types of puzzles/clues and then adjust to your content/age group.

How might you plan a scavenger hunt or a treasure hunt for a world language class? Share your ideas with elementary T @HandsOnilm! #InstantPD #LangChat #ITeachSpanish #WorldLanguages
