Congratulations on obtaining your NBCT! #wearejcps #jpcspdl

Super proud of my rockstar seniors (standing in the back) that led these future Mustangs from Newcomer Academy on a tour of CTE classes today. Such great ambassadors! #knowmoore #jcpsml #ncamazing @MooreMustangsML

1️⃣ of my favorite assignments: indpndt media followed by creating an IG post to summarize. Student choice? ✔️ Student engagement? ✔️ Listening, reading, and writing EL stdrds? ✔️ Here's some of my faves. #knowmoore Thx to @ChemicalKevy @SimonWhistler @chubbyemu for great videos!

I had my seniors draw a representation of some common English Valentine's day idioms - without googling them! Here are just 4 of my favorites; can you guess what the idioms are? It was for sure an afternoon of creativity and laughter. ♥️ #knowmoore #jcpsesl

Practicing English listening and speaking skills this afternoon in my senior ELL class! With lots of recent newcomer students, building confidence is crucial - and this group is awesome at building one another up!💪🏼 #knowMoore #jcpsesl

Morphology, but make it a competition! 🙌🏼 #knowmoore #ellteacher

@WilliamOsman Saw your doppelganger driving down 65S just south of Louisville, KY today; had a fan girl moment.

Getting supports ready for our students observing Ramadan with a helpful poster from @yesimhotinthis! #knowmoore #jcpsesl

@yesimhotinthis This is my third English learner this week that's requested (and almost finished) your book! I've heard so much laughter from all of them as they read. 😍 #knowMOORE

@NewcomerLibrary @JCPS_LMS @NewcomerAcademy I'd love to use this resource!

There's something *super* satisfying about putting your name on new books for your classroom. I'm so excited for my students to read and see themselves in this! #knowMOORE #graphicnovel #englishlanguagelearners

As a little "therapeutic Thursday" with my students today, we reflected on our lives (and futures), and mapped them out on a timeline. Just 👀 at these creative variations they came up with! So awesome to see where these Ss have been, & where they want to go! #knowMOORE #jcpsesl

My seniors are *pumped* for the pep rally today! They even convinced (read: begged) me to let them paint my face like theirs. Love these goofballs!! #knowmoore #moorespirit #ells

After my senior ELLs had independent media time (choice of books, audio books, and a curated-by-me list of podcasts & videos) today, I asked them to create an Instagram post to summarize what they "consumed." Check out these amazing results! #knowmoore #nilered #ESL

Here's to the start of year THREE! #KNOWmoore

Just getting some classroom decor up today! 🥰

This makes my heart so happy! 💕

Huge shout-out to @MrScottDuthie for sharing some student work with a few of our ELLs this morning! It was great for them to see a glimpse into the field, and they had a blast playing robot soccer. Thank you! #STEM #knowMoore #jcpsesl

PLN: I know that the Kinyarwanda language has *many* dialects, and because of this, many of the w2w dictionaries are not much use to students. Are there any recommendations for something more accurate that my students would benefit from? TIA! #ESL #kinyarwanda #languagesupport
