@PRHSspanish Also, since I'm neurodiverse, having the subtitles on helps me focus and not get lost!

@PRHSspanish It's funny when we watch. I know enough Mandarin to watch Chinese movies and shows and ask Wes why the translation isn't right. I speak Spanish and know enough French and Portuguese that he asks me about those translations!

@PRHSspanish My partner is a native Chinese speaker (a dialect other than Mandarin or Cantonese) and I speak a number of languages too and we like watching shows in those languages... Subtitles are ALWAYS on in our household now.

Today my #ell kids nearly started a riot to tell me how much they loved Curious George and to ask if we could watch it. I had no idea..... the more you know? #esol #langchat #edchat

@e_vanderpool my kids who are reading sacri pulli really want more about Marcus. They want him to come out of his shell! #latinteach #langchat #classics #classicstwitter

(4/4) #classicstwitter #langchat #classics #latinteach Some dictionaries they noticed are out of order! They jump from one letter to another halfway down the alphabet and then go back. Sometimes random words are mixed into other letters.

(1/4) #classicstwitter #langchat #classics #latinteach authors - 1 suggestion the kids' have had (and it is across authors) is that we take more time to double check our dictionaries. The issues that have arisen include:

(3/4) #classicstwitter #langchat #classics #latinteach Some dictionaries are incomplete! (I can confirm). We need to check to ensure that our dictinoaries have all the words needed AND context/cultural notes as needed.

THIS is the BEST part of teaching... It's not the grades or the successes.... it's the passion. It's the excitement. It's the journey. This is why I do what I do. (2/2) #latinteach #langchat #edchat #teachertwitter #ell #esol

Got a few reminders of why I do what I do (1) my #Latin kids' face when we started a movie short about octopus love. (2) my #ELL kids' face when we opened their seeds for the 1st time in a week and they all had roots. #latinteach #edchat #langchat #esol (1/2)

I just gave my advisement/study hall a maths lesson. I'll take things I didn't think I'd have to teach as a Latin teacher for $400 Mayim. #latinteach #edchat

#ELL and #Disability perspectives are unique and powerful. Teachers do harm when they don't take them into account or allow them to thrive. #edchat #langchat #latinteach #sped #esol

Today's #teacher3 (1) I love getting active w/ my ss (2) I want to bring back more movement to my classroom (3) Check on your teacher friends... things are not great. #teachertwitter #langchat #edchat #latinteach

[Miriam Patrick (old acct) @MiriamPatrick]

I want to start a new trend #teachertwitter - On Friday: 1 thing you love, 1 thing you want to try again/differently, and 1 thing you want to vent about (if you have one) Let's call it #teacher3 #teachers #teacherlife #latinteach

Yesterday we played the dice review game for the first time since the pandemic started. I had forgotten what wonderful energy it brings to the classroom. #latinteach #langchat

Today one of my students in Latin 1 told me that he was thinking of becoming a Latin tutor or teacher. It made my smile. #iknowitscompelling #latinteach
