The Kindergarten students in Room 192 were inspired by the read aloud #TheHungryCaterpillar and created their own version by working together for the @DrGeorgeHallPS Pumpkin Carving Contest @ericcarle #EricCarle @TLDSB @TLDSB_EY #tldsblearns

Lots of translated posters available from @cityoftoronto that could be useful to educators sharing information with multilingual families as we welcome students back to classrooms next week.

@Rewordify helps Ss comprehend texts. I like this function where it keeps the original word + providing a synonym behind in purple.

This way Ss are still exposed to rigorous text.

Thank you, @demacruz, for the reminder.

Do schools and school boards in Ontario collect this data to determine if multilingual learners experience inequities in their classrooms and academic journey?

[ERGO @ergoontario]

"Choice board" for busy teachers who want to learn more about supporting multilingual learners.

Thank you @ValentinaESL that take time to summarize and share information that helps Ss.

It is time to rethink what bilingualism means, recognize that Canada is a multilingual country, and focus on innovating language education.

With the #Raptors about to hit the global stage, I’m going to share a story about what makes Toronto, and Canada, so special. It’s about a guy you’re going to be seeing a whole lot of.

A Thread.
