It’s official, Ms. V is going back to school! I will be studying ESL, as I am an ELL teacher K-2 this year. #drewuniversity #teacher #ell #elonalumni #eloned

@sdyarboro Yes I have been using that for years! I love it.

Work with some great tech tools today. Including: Padlet, Kidsblog, Peardeck, Clever, Class Dojo, Google Meet and more. Would love any tips on how to get my ELLs involved at the K-2 level or even more tools to use. #eloned #ell #edtech #different #virtualteaching

@DauseClause I think culturally responsive teaching is super important because as an ELL teacher I need to incorporate culture of each student into the classroom. My district actually gave me the book as a gift! Highly recommend!

Great book on culturally responsive teaching. I am excited to incorporate more song into my future classes. Please share any songs to help ELLs K-2 below. It would be appreciated. I am working on establishing a routine for my Ss. #eloned #ells #SchoolReopening #culture

Thank you, Dr. Justice, for teaching me that learning should never be “work” #ElonEd

Loved performing Feliz Navidad with my student at our holiday show! #eloned #specialeducation #musiceducation #spanish

Throughout 2019 I worked on my self reflection to improve my teaching. This book was challenging to finish and helped me grow as a person. Highly recommend! #selfreflection #teaching #improvement #eloned
