@ChelseaCirruzzo @cmartin2 A spokesperson told The Hill beginning of October that there were enough doses for all infants born this RSV season and then end of month they say wait NM? Like, what happened?

[Lori Wolter @lowo87]

@FenitN @bylenasun Thank you for all your recent reporting. As the parent of a newborn and 3 year old in the DMV I'm so frustrated -- can't find a COVID vaccine for the eldest, pediatrician's offices are "meh" about when or how the RSV antibody treatment will be available.

As BA.2 looms, @CDCgov updated their Community Levels metric yesterday and I also obtained and linked the older Community Transmission metric data.

Below is a reflection of where we were yesterday in terms of "risk level" using each metric and the CDC's color scheme for each

@Assurant Husband filed a claim weeks ago but we haven’t been able to reach anybody by phone or email & you keep sending the same form letter. When should we expect contact? Terrible customer service.

Since @PotteryBarnKids doesn't seem to want reviews posted on its website: The Comfort Upholstered Glider we bought a couple of years ago has not held up well. Squeaky and range of motion has deteriorated. Not worth $700+.

Thanks to @mloveESL for sharing this!

1A1: I created an infographic of the 5 basic premises, highlighting my favorite quotes from each one. #EllChat_BkClub #GrowingLanguageAndLiteracy @AndreaHonigsfel

Look for the good. Even on difficult days there are still so many things to be grateful for

@ValentinaESL @Larryferlazzo @AndreaHonigsfel @ritaplatt @MsSalvac So happy to see some of my faves together sharing advice & being a bit vulnerable. We all have so much to learn. I know #ritaplatt from her MN WIDA presentations & just bought #Larryferlazzo's book on strategies 4 working w/ ELLs & want to thank you all for your work!

This is such a great table for the different type of academic writing.

I'm thinking I'll create my own versions of these with less options so as not to overwhelm but WOWZERS! This is helpful! Thank you for sharing @ABCD2SCo

ICYMI also good for any student.

These questions should be asked by every adult in every classroom in the country. Start the year off by getting #studentperspective via @edutopia. #SEL #edchat #kidsdeserveit

[Lori Wolter @lowo87]

Amen. This is what we're struggling with in our school. Thank you for speaking up!

EL teachers are professionals and their expertise needs to be leveraged. They are not interventionists. #ELMsummit19 ⁦@HamlineU⁩ ⁦⁦@AndreaHonigsfel⁩

@emilyfranESL @ILAToday Awesome! Always looking for lists of good bilingual books for Spanish/English-speaking kids and their parents. Have any handy?

[Lori Wolter @lowo87]

@TIME @KurboHealth Shame on Time for promoting this diet app for kids. Terrible crap like this assuredly will put countless youth on the path to a lifetime of disordered eating. I will no longer purchase your magazine.

Kids can misbehave simply because we are not giving them time to be kids.

We must remember to be as additive as possible as we serve #emergentbilingual #students in #ESL, #EAL, #ESOL, and in #mainstream #classrooms! Every #teacher is a #language teacher! #ELL #ellchat #ELL #duallanguage #duallanguagerocks

@grammycammy Thanks so much for your reply! I'm finding the articles to be very helpful.

[Dr. Andrea Honigsfeld @AndreaHonigsfel]

A2 Try offer sincere acknowledgment of something your notice well done in the classroom in support of ELs. We teachers do not seem to offer enough compliments to each other. Transfer the asset- based philosophy to teacher partnerships as well ❤️❤️❤️❤️#CoTeachat

[Jennifer Serravallo @JSerravallo]

Two readers reading the same book might not have the same takeaways. The same reader returning to a book at a different time in life might understand something new. Do our assessments allow for this flexibility and variability? Or: one "right" answer all kids should get? #g2great

@MsVanBalkom @dr_aquagirl Ahhh! Great question. This table might help identify a student who might require additional non-EL services:
