May I just point out that these ELs are GOING INTO FIRST GRADE and are already co-creating 3 sentence paragraphs together!! 😍@SPSELD@officialSPS@WilderElem
@DrMericaClink! I am so proud of the ELD team at @officialSPS! When educators come in on a summer day, and then say it was one of the best trainings they've ever been to. You know we've done some great collaborating!! #Seidlitz7Steps
@DrMericaClink@SPSELD@officialSPS There was no way I was going to let our EL student miss out on his field trip!!! After many language line calls, a house visit, and transporting a bike from Jarrett to Rountree, we made it happen. And he had the time of his life. 🥹
Using environmental print is EVERYTHING. We’ve been on a panda and polar bear journey! We are rewarding our hard work with some drawings that we will then turn into fictional stories. Creativity is important! YES our EL’s can do it. @SPSELD 🐼🐻❄️
We as a country have minimized the teaching profession so much that we are okay with teachers needing a second job to survive.
I am not okay with it, our teachers deserve better and at @usedgov we are working to make better happen.

@DrCarolSalva and @Seidlitz_Ed more research to add to the value of QSSSA. The first step allows the learner to have the pause needed after hearing new vocabulary before using it! https://t.co/DlJ0zTQd1s @MsBentonELD
@DrMericaClink@DrCarolSalva@Seidlitz_Ed In such a fast-paced world, it’s natural as a T to want students to quickly repeat.. this takes a cognitive focus shift for Ts. The power is in the wait time, not quickly moving on to the next thing!
It’s an event for YOUR family, at YOUR school! 🏫

As I transition into my new position as an ELD specialist next year, I have gathered some summer reading! Time to learn. Time to grow. Time to be better. 🤘📚
iReady has begun… can you tell it’s the end of the year?? 😂 Gross? Probably. Keeping the stress low after weeks of testing? For sure. I dig it.
I love these kiddos. @sherwoodsps@officialSPS
