@joe_sisco @teachergoals @teacher2teacher @ELLs_uwindsor @TVDSB @S_Shahbazi23 @Catlin_Tucker @uwindsored Thank you Professor Sisco! I appreciate your thoughts! It is so hard to be an OT when kids are sad about school. I need to find ways to make it feel meaningful to them.

Kids with attitude are quick to remind me that "grades don't matter because I'll just pass into the next grade anyways". How can I explain school matters? What can I do as a supply in ON, CAN? @teachergoals @teacher2teacher @ELLs_uwindsor @TVDSB @S_Shahbazi23 @joe_sisco

The right to choose is a woman’s right and a woman’s right alone. Every woman in Canada has a right to a safe and legal abortion. We’ll never back down from protecting and promoting women’s rights in Canada and around the world.

Important reminder! 🙌

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Sounds about right. 💯

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

This! 🙌

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Yup. 😂🤣

Learning idioms in other languages creates connections to cultures. This week I learned: "Não há uma pessoa teìmosa sozinha" means "there is never only 1 stubborn person (alone)" in Portuguese. I think I found my new favorite idiom!😋 @ELLs_uwindsor @S_Shahbazi23 @LukeLeiva

Balance is key - not just for kids, but adults too! Encouraging breaks is important for mental health! @uwindsored @UWinEdSoc

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

You don’t shape school culture in your office. You shape it in the halls, in the classrooms, in the lunchroom… engaging with those around you.

There is more to communication than just words, reading body language is just as important in any classroom! I would argue even more so in an ELL classroom! @ELLs_uwindsor @S_Shahbazi23 @uwindsored

[Jessica Baptista @JBaptista9306]

I saw this on Facebook the other day & I had to chuckle. I admire the kind of teacher who tries their best to help every child in the classroom achieve their best and it first begins with communicating on their levels. @ELLs_uwindsor @S_Shahbazi23 @uwindsored

Thank you to everyone who came out to the VME Conference today! Graphic Organizers are a wonderful tool for both teachers and students of all ages and backgrounds! A big thank you to my co-presenters too! @S_Shahbazi23 @ELLs_uwindsor @LukeLeiva @jacquelinegemus @natalie9659

[Jessica Baptista @JBaptista9306]

On Friday I will be speaking in a conference with some amazing colleagues on how to support ELLs and MLLs in the classroom! Very excited! 😁 @LukeLeiva @natalie9659 @jacquelinegemus @ELLs_uwindsor @S_Shahbazi23

I love the surge of brain power I feel when I am learning a second language! I wonder if my students will feel the same happiness someday? There are so many benefits from learning multiple languages! I can't wait to learn how to teach English! @ELLs_uwindsor @S_Shahbazi23

[Lucas Anderson @MrL_Anderson]

This is an interesting point about MLLs based in research. For those of you that are learning a second language, what is your experience with this? How could we use this information to support MLLs? @JBaptista9306 @natalie9659 @leannatrister @ELLs_uwindsor @S_Shahbazi23

[Jessica Baptista @JBaptista9306]

@LukeLeiva @natalie9659 @leannatrister @ELLs_uwindsor @S_Shahbazi23 100%! Even as I'm learning my second language I'm always translating it back into my first to understand not only its literal meaning, but to grasp its cultural and contextual intent in a conversation! (Ex. Sarcasm)
