I had the pleasure of attending the ENL Thanksgiving at LMS today! Ms. Pratt hosted an event for her students to share delicious multicultural foods from around the world. It was amazing, thanks so much for having me!

While a student may not be able to speak English yet, they can still think, feel, & learn! #EnglishTeacher #ESL #ELL #ELLs #teaching #teachingELLs #ESOL #TESOL #TEACHers #tchr2tchr

She taught students how to use online tools to support diverse learners and then assigned them a task to practice what they learned. It is exciting to see high school students developing skills that will help them better support children now and in the future.
