So great spending the day with these @IHSchools educators at the Multilingual Learners Summit. Their insight and dedication to our multilingual learners and families is inspiring! #MLSummit2024#HCESC#IHPromise
@richardson_edu@IHSchools It was simple but the kids loved it. My favorite part though is in the video where you can hear someone saying, “I gave her a tip!” 😂
We were all smiles today at ODE’s Academic Excellence for All conference!
We must be Bold, Brave, and Courageous in our conversations around equity, relationships with learners, and our lens in instruction. #IHPromise#EpicIHPS@MrCashHayden @IHSD_Dean @jgardne24107504
Drawing helps students show what they understand in Spanish and decreases the need for English usage! Loved these drawings of the sentence, “El Señor Gruber baila rápido.” (Check out @ihprimary_ap doing the worm in the last pic! 😆) #EpicIHPS#IHPromise
Learners got creative with their paths during the retell of La tortuga 🐢 y la liebre 🐇. Loved hearing so many great Spanish words and phrases. #langchat#earlylang#EpicIHPS
We’ve had the best time integrating STEM into Spanish this week! We’ve been singing the song “Diez elefantes se balanceaban” and were challenged to make a web that held 10 elephants. ¿Cuántos elefantes se balanceaban? ❤️🐘🕸 A big GRACIAS to @monica_dawkins. #IHPromise#EpicIHPS
These spot on representations of different parts of ourselves make me smile! 😀 (❤️ the missing teeth!) Thanks to @SpanishTogether and @mundodepepita for materials and ideas for this unit about our similarities and differences. #EpicIHPS#earlylang#langchat#IHPromise
We loved celebrating the culmination of a years-long passion project of our lovely former colleague, Rosa Jason. We officially cut the ribbon on the “Rosa Jason Honor Book” collection at the PS library. Special thanks to @ihpto and @JenAndersIHPS! #ihpromise#epicihps ❤️🖤
Finished this book this week. I highly recommend it for any educator. It changed what I thought I knew about Culturally Responsive Teaching, deficit-based culture, and how culture impacts the brain and learning. ❤️🧠#culturallyresponsiveteaching#IHPromise#langchat
