@MissWelchELL He brought tears to my eyes with how ready and proud he was getting on the intercom to read this morning. That poem was absolutely perfect with so much meaning: nice job, Miss Welch!!
SO proud of this student for reading this to the entire school this morning! He practiced this poem at school and home for over a week and even learned the Spanish version so he would be able to read it to his family 🥺❤️ #NationalPoetryMonth
Truly cannot stop thinking about one of my students calling applesauce “the apple pie soup” today 🤣 The creativity in communication (and, honestly, the accuracy) is mind blowing 🤯❤️ #funinfoundational#MLLs
So excited to use @ImagineLearning in my classroom🤗 Giving my students access to programs that are designed & normed for them and getting data that is actually relevant for newcomer instruction? That’s equity👏
Culturally inclusive or diverse books are not just for #Multilinguals.
ALL learners benefit from hearing stories & #reading books abt people who are different from them.
Empathy is grown from stepping in the shoes of others & walking in them.
Books build #empathy.
“Schooling has a strong reading and writing bias while identity seem(s) more deeply rooted in spoken language.”
Loved this article for thinking about how different linguistic strengths/weaknesses present in the classroom.
