Multilingual Mania

Parents/teachers, want children to read? Let them read what they want. Even comics! Comic books avg 53.5 rare words per thousand, compared with 30.9 rare words per thousand in children's books, and 52.7 in adult books. Learning to read should be enjoyable!

@MsPowellteaches thats adorable!

My students asked me all week if I was going to dress up again during the first week of school 😅 So I surprised them today with my composition book 😝 #teacherlife #makelearningfun #2ndcostumeoftheyear

multilingual signs are the best!

Instead of looking at children as having no English, let’s look at them as having all these languages. Lets focus on their language resources and use them effectively. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇫🇷 🇸🇴 🇧🇩 #multilingual #superpower

@lizi513 but then technically with this logic Trump shouldn't be directing the country either since he's older than 65, right? =)

@ruth_franklin @matthewjdowd Nope. She should have retired in the Obama Administration. Pilots are mandatory retirement at 65. Can’t fly a plane, can’t direct the country.

@emilyhuff717 story of my week too! I thought yesterday was Friday LOL

Today I told a class “Have a great weekend!” when the bell rang. They starred at me for a minute until I realized it wasn’t Friday. Just Tuesday.

@Newsela Is it accurate that you only sell site wide licenses and don't allow individual teacher licenses? Is there to purchase licenses by amount of teachers or students??

School is one of the few outlets young people have to understand major events. It must be the venue to advance anti-racist principles. We are proud to support educators in this work. newse.la/2zRCOjE

@spanishplans I love conjugating verbs!! I used to love to play conjugation "memory". But then again I am a language nerd LOL

It is CRITICAL that #ELL families get the info in their home languages that they are legally entitled to about the coming school year -- esp when schedules, start dates, & learning models are changing. Learn more here: ow.ly/ITkm30r3bLB #ELLchat @sharemylesson @AFTunion

Why do we continue to use the term “ foreign languages”? They are not foreign to some. Or from outer space. Can we agree that we should call it World Languages? Please, por favor, si’l vous plaît, bitte? 😜

@SrtaNRodriguez this is a cute idea...can't wait to see what comes of it!
