Great article highlighting how Ss can plan, revise, and publish differently than we usually consider.

Fascinating to hear more around negativity bias. https://t.co/9KD0GuvWca. A big thanks to my Mindful Schools class for sharing!

Google’s New “Aloud” Tool Could Be A Huge Asset To Teachers Who Want To Make Their Content Accessible To ELLs https://t.co/Q9lQCZ4Ffz

This screenshot does not capture the magic of my Grade 5 mentees getting to @skypeascientist about their research questions. @dpkloster did a phenomenal job of breaking down complex topics into manageable parts. They now want to be scientists. #pypx2020 #ibpyp #aisgz

International Mother Language Day #imld is just over a month away. I am searching for meaningful ideas that we can do at elementary to celebrate all our languages. #ellchat #ell #cando #multilingual #mothertongue #translanguaging

A fantastic afternoon with @AndreaHonigsfel. So lucky to glean some of her expertise on #coteaching. #collaboration #ells

We are so lucky to have a #schoolgarden @AISGZ to learn in during and after school! The SS love growing, eating, and exploring. @alee_teach #aisgz

[Amy Gregory @amypgregory]

@SolorzaCristian We are, though, moving in the right direction, and will continue to improve. Please, feel free to continue to share ideas to move us towards the ideal. Let me know if you need more information about our context.

[Amy Gregory @amypgregory]

Ss #languageagreements in #firstgrade. Valuing our #multilingual Ss and having #metacognition about when to use our languages. It’s a work in progress. Hoping Ss will eventually see the value of using their L1 in class with #translanguaging. #aisgz #CanDo

[Amy Gregory @amypgregory]

@SolorzaCristian I appreciate the feedback. I put this up here to have conversation about a new practice I’m trying out to move away from a “no Chinese” culture across the school. I have not gotten it “right” on the first go, and you have certainly pointed out how far away from the ideal it is.

[Amy Gregory @amypgregory]

Other than #WheresHalmoni, I used these 2 books to spark discussions around our languages. Spanish helped me share mine, Chinese validated many of them. Discussion Q: Why did the author choose to use two languages in this book? #eal #ealchat #translanguaging #cando
