Check out our #SLIFE students using debate to build academic vocabulary and structure well-formed arguments in Leadership Seminar last year @ENLACE_Lawrence Newcomer Academy. https://t.co/KPUswRJlaE

@ivettetorres512 Thank you! Prevention Science and Practice this year and then a CAS in Adolescent Counseling next year. So excited to dive in!

[Matt Clements @MattClements1]

Happy back to school season, everyone! This is the first time I'm going back to school as a student (not a teacher) in a decade. Excited to start classes next week. Wish me luck!

@CraneBeachMass Is there still parking? I'm on route to be there in about an hour.

[ENLACE @ENLACE_Lawrence]

Hot off the presses! 🗞 Students in @MattClements1 Current Events group wrote and produced the 1st edition of Newcomer News! They read articles about issues they care about - Syrian Civil War, DACA, Migrant Caravan, and the gas fires - and wrote thoughtful Op-Eds!

@emilyfranESL @ENLACE_Lawrence @LHSCampus Wait! Idea! We could even have you and your students Skype in for a meeting. Interstate student-led club! 🤩

[Matt Clements @MattClements1]

So excited to connect our #Newcomers with older student mentors who were in their shoes a few years ago through our new club, Stonger Juntos! @ENLACE_Lawrence @LHSCampus

[ENLACE @ENLACE_Lawrence]

So excited about our newest club, Stronger Juntos 💪🏽 This club was started by a former ENLACE student as an opportunity for former #newcomers who are now 10th, 11th, & 12th graders to come back and mentor new 9th grade students. Today’s conversation - how GPA works! @LHSCampus

[Matt Clements @MattClements1]

@emilyfranESL @ENLACE_Lawrence @LHSCampus ... and one of our former students is leading it, btw! 😃If you're ever in MA, stop by! We'll have you as a guest speaker!

[Matt Clements @MattClements1]

@emilyfranESL @ENLACE_Lawrence @LHSCampus Thanks! Only 3 meetings in but the word is spreading and the group is growing!

Happy Indigenous People's Day! #Newcomer & #SLIFE US History Ss overwhelming agreed that European colonialism was unfair in their end of unit analytical paragraphs this week. They were a great read!#IndigenousPeoplesDay2018

This is a great strategy for building positive school culture. https://t.co/y3n7IBqSgF #edchat #profdev

@contentfinca1 @ENLACE_Lawrence @contentfinca1 thanks Dana! We're off to a great start this school year!

Take a look at my whiteboard at the end of today: a message in Hindi Maya numerals, a list of languages we speak, a name written in Hebrew and on my clipboard two phrases in 2 different Maya languages from Guatemala. Celebrating multilingualism!

[ENLACE @ENLACE_Lawrence]

#Newcomer and #SLIFE students CAN access grade-level content with appropriate #scaffolds #SiSePuede #SIFELife 💪🏽

[Matt Clements @MattClements1]

Projecting short and sweet Exit Tickets on the board with sentence starters has really helped my Newcomer & SLIFE Ss to synthesize important information from texts. #keepitsimple Take a look!

[ENLACE @ENLACE_Lawrence]

Huge turnout for the first meeting of the Table-Top Gaming Club yesterday afternoon! @BishopBlithers

[Charlie Baker @MAGovArchive]

There is a dire need for resources and services, and people and businesses will need help getting back to close to normal. To address this need, I joined @ECCFGives and local officials to announce a humanitarian relief fund: The Greater Lawrence Disaster Relief Fund. #MVGasFire

[Matt Clements @MattClements1]

Congrats to the winners! @GetKahoot @ENLACE_Lawrence

[Matt Clements @MattClements1]

Having fun with US History content and practicing reading at the same time with @GetKahoot at @ENLACE_Lawrence !

[ENLACE @ENLACE_Lawrence]

When you rock that @GetKahoot in US History class! #BackInAction #JoyFactor @MattClements1

@ricottajpie @LHSCampus 👍

Last night, explosions from a gas pipeline caused several fires across the city where I teach, Lawrence, MA.

Please consider donating to the Lawrence Emergency Fund (https://t.co/8RSMb1fLY3)

or another local organization like...
- Cor Unum
- Lazarus House
- Bread and Roses

[Matt Clements @MattClements1]

@cmeandsee When I went I saw that they got a lot of donations tonight but I think they need even more to prepare for the weeks ahead. Here's the list that I've seen floating around (Also, snacks and juice boxes for kids)

[Matt Clements @MattClements1]

@COL1853 I stayed outside the city last night but I live in Washington Mills on Canal Street. I've heard conflicting info about if we are in the evacuation zone and if our area has power or not. Also, are there places for people to volunteer?
