While the original graphic was designed several years ago, I finally finished updating this infographic: The ABCs of #Teaching #Multilingual Learners.

This certainly does not encompass everything but includes some of the essentials.

Impactful learning @ MABE conference. Wonderful to see our guest speaker, US Secretary of Education Cardona, who highlighted that, finally all 50 states, now recognize the Seal of Biliteracy, promoting its value & the benefits of bilingual education. #MABEConference #Bilingualism

This makes me sad. Years after being away I went to Mr. Lemon and she still remembered me from when I was a child getting lemonade after softball practice. RIP

[Victor Baez | Club Ambition @itsavibe]

Rest In Peace to the co-founder of Mr Lemon, Eileen Rao aka "Mama Lemon" the classic lemonade staple in Rhode Island, a must have every summer

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

@NFL This is fun, but put the replays in real life. Ham can watch the actual replay so we can see what really happened.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

“One morning, my mother prepared breakfast after a late night's work. My father offered to fix it but she said she wanted to.

She put a plate of eggs and burnt toast in front of my father.

I immediately noticed, the burnt toast, and I was waiting to see if he was going to complain about it. Instead, my father started to eat them. Smiling, he asked me how I spent my day at school.

My mom apologized to my dad for the burnt toast. I will never forget his response to her:

"Honey, I love burnt toast!"

Later when I went to bed and my dad came over to kiss me goodnight, I asked him if he really liked the burnt toast?

He hugged me and said, "Your mother has had a difficult day and she is really tired. She went out of her way to prepare this meal for us, why blame her and hurt her. Burnt toast never hurt anyone; but words can be very painful!””

We have to know how to appreciate what others do for us, even if it's not perfect, because it's the intention to do well that counts, and no one is perfect.
