Did you know that the translations of animal sounds may vary across different parts of the world. Check out these multilingual onomatopoeias. #EALD#bilingualismrocks
Sometimes you have a lesson that blows you away. Today's Gr 5 goal: to share what we 'notice' about poetry and I'll admit that I totally underestimated these #emergentbilinguals and their observations. One student 'I think poetry is like a work of art that everyone needs to see!'
Surely #translanguaging is good for a student’s #wellbeing!. At #ISH_EAL 4 keen Y4 students, fairly new to English and covering 5 languages, shared their transition words with each other to support their #Writing.
Students helped me display our Multilingual Me unit. We analysed our language identity profiles (thanks @ISH_EAL), learned new vocab to talk about #multilingualism, explored language origins and families and inquired into different forms of #communication. Love this unit 💖
The best teachers aren’t perfect teachers, they are human teachers - they go off on tangents, they explore stuff, they focus on the detail but make mistakes, they have fun but they are serious about the job - the students love these teachers.
My 4th grader dropped a wisdom bomb yesterday that shook me. “I wish my teachers knew the outside-of -school-me. Teachers only know kids they way they are in school. I’m the real me at recess but they don’t pay attention then.” What does this say to us about play!? #StudentVoice
Really pleased with how my classroom map display is coming on 🗺 I’ve included books that link to diverse cultures to the suitcase, which are featured on the map, have labels of key places & pics that show where the children’s families originate from! #edutwitter@MrTs_NQTs
“Every day is a chance to begin again. Don’t focus on the failures of yesterday, start today with positive thoughts and expectations.”
