@Emwatsongrant AGREE! #ccschats

@CMSRAMSAP @Emwatsongrant DL New Mexico has lots of chatter about DL PreK and it came up at our last DPI DL conference. #ccschats

[Emily Bivins @BivinsEmily]

@CMSRAMSAP Great idea! How do you get $ to them for those purchases? #ccschats

[Emily Bivins @BivinsEmily]

Love the cartoon! Want to add it to our parent presentation! #ccschats

Q5- Still working on purchasing outside of USA. #ccschats

[Emily Bivins @BivinsEmily]

Q5: contd. She was able to purchase authentic text and make connections with vendors we don't have in USA. #ccschats

Q5: CHCCS also supported our librarian's attendance at the International Book Fair Event in Mexico. She made many contacts. #ccschats

The quality of materials in Spanish is not always great. Investigations and Everyday Math have excellent quality for Spanish. #ccschats

[Emily Bivins @BivinsEmily]

We struggle with all of our assessments being for monolinguals so when analyzing data, kids always look low. #ccschats

Q5: We are lucky our district supports KidBIz. Thanks CHCCS! #ccschats

[Emily Bivins @BivinsEmily]

Q5: KidBiz has been one of the best resources for non-fiction "news" for grades 3 and up. Very expensive. #ccschats

@CMSRAMSAP @Emwatsongrant It'd be great for TWIOP to be offered again- it has been 5-6 years ago from DPI. #ccschats

[Emily Bivins @BivinsEmily]

@CMSRAMSAP @Emwatsongrant DPI offered a TWIOP training that had a cultural aspect to it that was targeted to DL teachers. #ccschats

[Emily Bivins @BivinsEmily]

@ahartness Agree! We are going in the same direction and DL programs need supports as it can be very isolating. #ccschats

[Emily Bivins @BivinsEmily]

@CMSRAMSAP Please share some of these resources. Would love to learn more. #ccschats

[Emily Bivins @BivinsEmily]

@Emwatsongrant Teachers often confuse "the bridge" event and bridging. Both are important. #ccschats

[Emily Bivins @BivinsEmily]

@Emwatsongrant The first time a teacher plans a bridge, it feels like learning to teach all over again. It is hard! #ccschats

[Emily Bivins @BivinsEmily]

Would love to know more about brain research and DL. Most of my study is with academic benefits and culture. #ccschats

Love this quote! The more language you have, the more you can express ideas, feelings and learning. #ccschats
