@PearDeck have you considered making a way for teachers to display all responses on the student screens instead of screen sharing our dashboard? We are all virtual and splitting screens can be hard for younger students. Thanks!

#ThoughtForTheDay Before we delegate tasks to S’s/staff make sure we...
1. Are clear on expectations
2. Show, not tell them the standard
3. Model it
4. Observe them
5. Coach them
6. Provide honest feedback
7. Validate their work
8. Sincerely thank them

Learning about Ramadan and making lanterns. Third graders learn about other cultures and communities. @WarnsdorferEB

The U.S. is a multicultural, multiethnic and multilingual country. Why can’t we simply call languages instruction Community Languages vs World Languages? Then politicians would understand that we are in this together, that we are part of the World! #langchat @actfl #charlaele1

My students got a kick out of my shirt today 😂

[Amanda Kosa @SenoraKosa]

Love that students are able to show their creative/artistic side while using math! https://t.co/aeacnCeccF

5th grade bringing math to life-Ss researched shapes, their properties, similarities & differences and created architectural drawings where they notified the shapes in their surroundings @WarnsdorferEB #proudteacher

When our 4yo says "I falled and hurted myself" do we expect them to know irregular preterite? If not, then how can w/students who receive very few hours of lang input? All we can do is recast & give more input! "Lang is complex, implicit & abstract." #VikingSpanishTPRSTraining

Did I not tweet about this acronym today from @coxon_mike ? It is genius! RICH bc our #CI must be rich! These are the four keys to #CI:
Repetitive
Interesting
Comprehensible
High Frequency

A5: reflection is so important. Figure out what your goals are and how you can achieve them #EBedchat

[Amanda Kosa @SenoraKosa]

A3: finding new, exciting way to engage students #EBedchat

[Amanda Kosa @SenoraKosa]

A2: Love my “Spanish Teachers in the US” FB group! I especially love when teachers share their daily small victories 😌 https://t.co/3lPV4ooUw6

[SaraYaff @SaraYaff]

A2: Facebook 😬 I follow several literacy related professional pages (TCRWP, Notice and Note, NCTE, Jennifer Serravallo, etc,) and when I’m catching up on my newsfeed, articles and questions pop up. It’s a good way to “sneak” in extra professional learning. #EBedchat

[Amanda Kosa @SenoraKosa]

A2: Pinterest and Twitter! There are so many great ideas out there that can easily be adapted to any classroom #EBedchat

[Amanda Kosa @SenoraKosa]

This is exactly why I love conferences. I’m surrounded by other WL teachers and get to choose which workshops will benefit me the most. https://t.co/Yucaoh23Oe

[Amanda Kosa @SenoraKosa]

A1: I learned so much from @FLENJ and @DouglassCrouse’s workshops. Nothing like a bunch of world language teachers coming together and sharing ideas #EBedchat

[Amanda Kosa @SenoraKosa]

Amanda, traveling elementary Spanish teacher! Besides ed, I like to research how to get stronger and lift heavier things in the gym 💪🏼😅 #EBedchat

[Amanda Kosa @SenoraKosa]

@profehewes @tms1951 interesante que ya hablamos de este tema en nuestra presentación https://t.co/lh0xGFtzgO

[RAE @RAEinforma]

@carolacpg #RAEconsultas El uso de la «x» como supuesta marca de género inclusivo es innecesario —además de impronunciable—, pues el masculino gramatical funciona en nuestra lengua como término inclusivo para aludir a colectivos mixtos, o en contextos genéricos o inespecíficos.
