My advisory put together this sculpture of Principal Mr. Martinson using only items in the classroom. #MrMartinsonAndMeCHS2019 #YourAdvisoryTeacherCHS2019

R1 I enjoyed taking students to Germany with @GAPP_Exchanges and traveled to Sweden to visit family. I also colonized Mars on my Xbox. #gamerteacher #chat_DSC

On today’s Good Friday (Karfreitag), traditionally no church bells are supposed to ring, no music should be played, and, for Catholics, fish should be eaten rather than meat. If you want to celebrate Easter like a German, let this list be your guide! 🐰🌼 https://t.co/MrE4AqQ9Bp

@techbrarianDSC helped us get started editing with @WeVideo today! Students are practicing shopping completely in German, and learning some 21st century collaboration skills in the process! #Deutsch #LanguageLearning

R5: While teaching is a passion of mine, I also have other hobbies and interests. Scheduling time every day or week for these things help me to make self-care one of my #big_rocks #sharpenthesaw #familytime #guitarpractice #hamradio #discgolf #nintendo #reading #chat_DSC

R4: I try to greet everyone personally as they enter my room. I also find it valuable to just talk life with students. We use this as an opportunity to speak German as well. No grade, no pressure #chat_DSC

@CMS_Amling R3: Realia goes a long way in making the WL classroom come alive. Costumes, toys, and artifacts from the target cultures that Ss can interact with in activities help make learning fun and gets us out of the books. A set of multi-sided dice can make anything into a game #chat_DSC

@techbrarianDSC @LIS_Poncsak @TpTdotcom Also, tools like @Flipgrid augment rather than replace non-tech skills such as speaking. #chat_DSC

@LIS_Poncsak R2: For German vocab practice, students can complete a tic-tac-toe board of assignments. I try to keep them varied, some paper-pencil activities, some digital. I found one on @TpTdotcom and adapted it. #chat_DSC
