@SoaringInFirst @MonaviewES It was great joining your group!!

@CathyWorkman15 This is so great Cathy! I think we need to help both teachers and students realize all the experiences that our Newcomers/ELLs bring with them and how they are adding to our classrooms every day.

6Q2 When I think about comprehensible input, I think about Goldilocks and how something feels "just right". 🐻We need to find that sweet spot so our instruction/interactions aren't too challenging, but still compelling so the learner is focused and engaged. #GCS_Newcomers/SIFE

Co-teaching is new for me, but I think it is helping me become more aware of my strengths and areas for growth. I love getting to know my teachers better! It is really going to help my ELs grow and learn more!! Two brains are better than one! 🙂 #GCS_Newcomers/SIFE

@JenniferJurkow5 @ChristineWare14 I am new to co-teaching, but I am really enjoying getting to know my teachers better. I completely agree with you that teachers play off each other's strengths and all students benefit.

3Q3 We have an Educational Background Information Form for Newcomers that we try to use. It was created by our Newcomer teacher, J. Baker. It is very helpful, but it is sometimes difficult to get it completed due to staff and time constraints. #GCS_Newcomers/SIFE

@FLsummergirl We use PBIS and do training on the expectations with all students. We have bilingual teachers and upper grade students translate for newcomers. It helps ensure that all students understand the rules and why they are important.

@KLatham_ESOL Kelly, I love what you wrote about adding to who our students are as people, not trying to replace old with the new! So positive and supportive of their value as they are and their emotional needs!

Started listening to Carol Salva's amazing podcasts on Boosting Achievement: The ESL Podcast! Supportive, inspiring, and motivating! My 15th year in ESOL. Tweeting and listening to podcasts, learning new things every day-just like my students! #GCS_Newcomers/SIFE

@FLsummergirl Lisa, I looked this resource up and plan to get it for our newcomers! I love all the different areas it covers, it will be a great resource for their writing!! Thanks!! #GCS_Newcomers/SIFE

1A1 Every one of our students has a story, having a positive, supportive environment for them can make all the difference in their success. Relationships and connections are critical. #GCS_Newcomers/SIFE

Hi, I'm Margie Manchester. This is my 15th year at Monaview working with ELs. I am working with K-1st grade students this year. I am very excited to learn more about how to better serve our students that are newcomers or have interrupted educations. #GCS_Newcomers/SIFE
