Prepare to be dazzled.
Young children are the world’s most efficient language learners - and easily master the challenge of bilingualism in supportive settings.
Check out little Sam here as he switches back and forth seamlessly between Polish (the native language of his mother) and English (his father).
Research suggests that bilingual/multilingual infants readily distinguish between the languages to which they are exposed, without any evidence of confusion. They are adept at recognizing the unique rhythms associated with each language - and can even visually discriminate between the unique (and often subtle) facial movements associated with different languages.
Contrast this with the challenge of language learning as adults. How many of us took a foreign language in high school or college but cannot even begin to claim Sam’s level of fluency?

Aha Moment! We use small mirrors at the reading table to look at how we form sounds. What if we use them for self-affirmations? 2 minutes for self-affirmations, once or twice a week, at the table with your acknowledgment of their reflection…Wow 💥 thanks Mr. Marrero!
Ivan Marrero, a teacher in Brooklyn, NY, wanted his 2nd graders to 'see the reflection in themselves' by asserting some self-affirmations in front of the classroom mirror.
@NoLieWithBTC And her PPE relief of $183,00+ loan .. “I’ve actually lost money”. Please! We all have! I have too have lots of soup and leftovers. I can send you recipes.
Fierce- adjective -full of force; powerful; vigorous; effective:
a forceful plea for peace.-acting or driven with force.
YES YES YES! thank you @fdes_pe @FDESPandas
We raised a “fierce” daughter and gained a “fierce” daughter-in-law. We have a “fierce” granddaughter on the way!
Today we created a partnership outside of student teaching and hosted 40 student female athletes from Shenandoah University. Today, we celebrated NGWSD and showed our students that they can be fierce warriors like the ones in front of them. Start their dreams young.
Today was the perfect time to celebrate .
💯 days of school!!!
Kids participating in the 100 challenge! Doing math and writing in Spanish!

Which instructional practices could teachers start implementing in their classroom right now to improve the reading outcomes for novice readers?
Here are some things you can do today:
@PeteButtigieg I would encourage you, Elizabeth Cheney and @RepJeffries to have breakfast and chat. Americans need a ticket that speaks truth over political correctness and commits to honesty and accountability. A leadership that values the will and determination of ALL Americans
@RonFilipkowski I can’t believe we are comparing places to stir “highly secured documents”. We have to Americans that are more trust worthy and ethical. Come on America
@VicksVapoRub Blast from the past. I packed up this Vicks Vaporizer model V150 in 2000 to move to our new house. I just opened it last night. It works great! The night light even still works!
@MichelleObama I taken care of my dad father and uncle. They passed. I am now taking care of a disabled family member. I have endered family and community judgement. I am determined to do the best I can for my family. I can do this. My family & my peace, my hobby will come.
@JGinfo Pay it forward… live in the moment without it being about you. I knew I was drawn to you as a driver way back in 1994 and I have never regretted watching you grow and get back!
