@Kelferg I recharge w nature walks on weekends w a friend. I’ve even gone out w ski poles & layers when everything was iced over. Is there a forest or a beach near you where you could go out for daily walks -maybe free-at just the right climate 4 you? Sending energizing thoughts your way!

@senoraCMT Me changing rooms this year, into an Art Room perfectly & completely set up for Art. Found a place under a table cloth to hide 2 plastic 3-drawer towers. (Of course, had to go in a week early to attempt to fit my things in, BUT - HUGE BONUS - there’s a balcony off the back door!

I can listen to @liamprinter & @TanKHuynh ‘s podcasts all day long, so imagine an episode with both together…Such great content!

This is a great, FREE Intro or Refresher, 4-part video series with Facebook follow-up chats (all recorded) about teaching World Languages using Comprehensible Input(CI) - the way Language is naturally acquired. Hope you have time to see them!!

[Claudia Elliott @claudiamelliott]

Are you interested in FREE short and on-demand PD this summer? If you're, sign up for the Summer CI Video Series. I'll take you from confused 😫 to clear 😊 about what comprehensible input is and is not, and how to incorporate it in your class! #langchat https://t.co/kutodHEQYA

¡Cuéntame! Such a great resource: slow Spanish w transcripts on current topics of interest to our beginning middle-high school Spanish language learners.

[Meri Cummings @Seeker33333]

Wow! Recently discovered podcast for World Language teachers!

Walking and learning! This podcast is a gift to teachers. Thank you @liamprinter @motclasspodcast and to the variety of guests who provide access to these topics.

Thank you to whoever wrote this. #langchat WE deserve our 2021 summer!

@profedenham I ask my students to call me Profe. Some of my middle schoolers (All English speakers) call me Mrs. or Mrs. Teacher. I think they don’t know my last name, or don’t feel comfortable saying Profe, or forgot that, too, even though I sign ever class note and message that way. HYN!!

I'm not sure some of you understand...

When people who spent years working 80-100 hr weeks, missed large sections of their lives b/c of their jobs, & deal with life/death on daily basis say that COVID is hardest thing they've ever dealt with...

that should mean something to you
