Happy that the state is providing LEAs with this resource! I recommended it a year ago when we noticed speaking WIDA levels dropped! #ELLChat#ellchat_bkclub

A5: Simple! The first thing we do is watch @iamkidpresident’s pep talk and discuss how it applies to class, as well as our lives! This sets the tone for the year and allows Ss to feel comfortable, empowered, and of course, happy on the first day. #ChatB2S

A9: You won’t have everything figured out on your first day, let alone in your first year, & that’s ok! Some of the best teachers I know still don’t have everything perfected after 10, 15, or even 20 years. Take risks and make mistakes! They make you better. #ChatB2S
A7: In the past, I have used “Bio bags” in which students fill a brown bag with three things that describe/are important to them. They present them to their peers so everyone gets a chance to show who they are! I go first, which after nine years, is still scary! #ChatB2S
