Increasing and decreasing are tricky #academicvocabulary terms for ELs. And you can bet they will appear on math/ science state tests. As always, visuals FTW😊 Sentence strips are cause/effect statements.

@TechieMcFly @KatieToppel I made my own using Google slides. Send me your email and I am happy to share.

@KatieToppel I took your destination and forecast lesson and brought it to our kindergarteners! It was a hit! Day 1 we did listening and speaking and Day 2 we extended to writing. I will admit I did not dress as a flight attendant😉

@KatieToppel Thank YOU for sharing your ideas!!

I urge every teacher who has English learners/MLs in their classroom to read this piece. Let's think deeply about SoR & Multilingual Learners. @AscenziMoreno @TESOL_Assn https://t.co/EoVrRs00MH

Made it to spring break! A little pancake making and #functionaltext to celebrate!

"We want to make sure that we’re not trading more phonics for less vocabulary or less comprehension,” Hernandez said.

They also agreed that English learners should ideally be in programs that help them become proficient in at least two languages."

There are effective ways to teach vocabulary, but the only way to enable kids to learn the vast number of words they need to be fully literate is to build their knowledge. @ClassroomWonder

K students loved segmenting and blending by driving our "sound cars"! Definitely got this idea from Twitter (somewhere?) #mlls #ells #DIYPD

@SaraKniggeESL @Jechev @KatieToppel @SIOPModel @CABEBEBILINGUAL Agree! Many people at my school are asking about SOR and our ELs- would love a virtual session before June or some key points to share!

Are you surprised to see that:

1. Pull-out ESL produced the LOWEST results, yet
2. Two-way bilingual programs produced the HIGHEST results for MLs?

Interpretation: For Ss to develop English, we need to develop their heritage language as well.

Valentines were an opportunity for sentence expansion with 4th grade #MLLs Write to your mom or write to Messi. You ❤️ what you ❤️. @TheWritingRevol

When you and your colleague both screenshot the EXACT SAME tweet bc you want to send it but it's late and you think she's asleep but turns out you're both trying to problem solve education at 11pm @CAOMcLeary (it was this tweet)

[Megan Reing @MeganReing]

Content goal (changes in matter)✔️ language goal (sequencing, cause and effect)✔️ literacy goal (encoding, writing complete sentences)✔️ Trying to do it all bc we have no time to waste!! #SLIFE #MLL

Last school day of 2022! Of course we had to craft a bit😍 Love the pride for multiple countries. #multilingual

This seemed like a good use of my time on the last night of Thanksgiving break? Coming to a hallway near you @FLCasablancaAP

[Megan Reing @MeganReing]

Sentence expansion guided writing with 4th graders. Our final elaborate sentences are written on this gratitude tree! Happy Thanksgiving!

Those listeners outside of the education world deserve an analysis that looks at all factors.

@nytimes @stavernise this teacher is disappointed that The Daily's discussion of NAEP scores didn't include a single mention of #multilinguallearners and the huge numbers of kids who spent the pandemic hearing and speaking very little English.
