Since 2008 or the past 14 years, our undocumented children have grown, studied, suffered, even graduated without health insurance. Let’s take bold action for the next generation of RI kids. #TogetherWeCan #coverallkids #JuntosLoLogramos #cubriratodoslosniños

Many factors contribute to reading motivation. Seeing oneself in the pages of a book, making connections, feeling less alone are a few that come to mind.

There are many differences btwn monolingual readers & multilingual or bilingual readers. We simply can’t apply one method & expect the same results.

Find ONE thing you can appreciate about a student that you don’t necessarily “like,” then build from there. It’ll get harder and harder not to like them once you choose to find something to connect to them with.

Many kids went through trauma over the pandemic. This is a great resource to welcome them back! 🧡

Of the 18 valedictorians and salutatorians in @pvdschools… 8 are current or former multilingual learners.

That’s an amazing stat! It is an incredible reflection of some positive shifts at PPSD, and admirable resilience of the multilingual learners across Providence.

Just curious:

Teachers, please RT this if you teach your students about things and topics that are NOT in the curriculum or the textbook you use because you know it’s very important that they learn it.
