@ShelfieTalk A8 Thank you Jack Wong, you have helped me understand inter/multi-generational challenges and relationships of language learners in a new way #shelfietalk

@ShelfieTalk A7 if you loved “The Words We Share”, may I recommend … #shelfietalk

[Angela Thomson @A75Thomson]

@ShelfieTalk A5 As @melissa__walker mentioned earlier… the importance of windows and mirrors. Plus, the picture book format is conducive to sharing a powerful message to many. #shelfietalk

@ShelfieTalk A4- Though I don’t currently have my own classroom of students, I am fortunate to be able to provide support to other groups of students. This book has transferable aspects and themes for French language learners that I would love to share! #shelfietalk

[Angela Thomson @A75Thomson]

@melissa__walker @ShelfieTalk Yes- disorientation is even better than “blur”- perfect word choice!

[Angela Thomson @A75Thomson]

@melissa__walker @ShelfieTalk Great point!

[Angela Thomson @A75Thomson]

@ShelfieTalk A2 I keep thinking about the relationship between some children with their parents/guardians when their language skills are more proficient (possibly because of school) #shelfietalk

@ShelfieTalk A1 While helping her Dad with language lessons, Angie learns her own language lessons with the community #shelfietalk

@ShelfieTalk Hi! I’m Angela - FSL subject coordinator for ASD-W and fan of #Shelfietalk

[Angela Thomson @A75Thomson]

@ShelfieTalk A8 thank you Peter ! You have deepened my thinking about the impact of word choice and their interpretation and the fact that “even saying nothing can mean different things” (p.123) #ShelfieTalk

[Angela Thomson @A75Thomson]

@ShelfieTalk A7 Confession… I already shared excerpts and questions from Chapters 4,7,8 with colleagues #ShelfieTalk

[Angela Thomson @A75Thomson]

@LaurenEllis89 @ShelfieTalk Same- negative moments seem to hit harder …

[Angela Thomson @A75Thomson]

@ShelfieTalk A6 Higher level Vocabulary, thematic walls, experiences, conversations, student voice,etc. Enrichment for all ✅

@ShelfieTalk A5 I am a huge fan of the “read aloud” as an important way to build and reinforce the links between reading and writing. So much can be accomplished with an engaging read aloud! #ShelfieTalk

[Angela Thomson @A75Thomson]

@melissa__walker @ShelfieTalk Important to celebrate, for sure!

[Angela Thomson @A75Thomson]

@ShelfieTalk A4 A safe, welcoming classroom community that includes the integration of SEL opportunities (scheduled or spontaneous) allow students room to “define the people they see themselves becoming” #ShelfieTalk

[Angela Thomson @A75Thomson]

@ShelfieTalk A3 Through consistent effort and awareness of my audience, I use language to support relationships with learners, colleagues, friends, and family alike… and a smidge of sarcasm where appropriate 😉#ShelfieTalk

[Angela Thomson @A75Thomson]

@ShelfieTalk A2 I used to think words and tone matter, but now that I have read Choice Words, I think there are more layers included varied levels of vocabulary and intentional questioning #ShelfieTalk
