Movie night!! All in English! #langislit

[Miss Swanson 🍎 @missswansonn]

We had the kids create these origami “fortune tellers” to ask each questions and practice their English. They loved it! #langislit

@AmyBrennfleck I love that idea!

[Miss Swanson 🍎 @missswansonn]

Preparing an English language lesson for my Spanish students about summer. Any fun ideas?? 🏖

After just exploring PBLs in our social studies methods course, I find this specific project very interesting as it allows the students to have more involvement in their communities! #langislit https://t.co/Khrc8i6qG6

We need to extend Grace to ourselves as we develop as educators. We are lifelong learners that need to be reflective and be willing to grow...and we need to own that! #langislit #edchat @ncte https://t.co/j76L84vFUU

Technology is affecting students in myriad ways. In this article about the ubiquity of digital clocks, a pediatrician also notes that children are struggling to grasp pens and pencils—possibly an unanticipated side effect of touchscreens.

Today was my last day with these kiddos! I have LOVED watching them grow throughout the school year and especially how their writing & reading skills have developed! I’m going to miss them & teaching with my wonderful practicum partner, @missswansonn 💜 #1stgrade #practicum

One way to show creativity is to connect unlike things.

[Miss Swanson 🍎 @missswansonn]

Using ice cream to learn about root words and suffixes! Great idea @lily_morris19 #langislit #LiteracyDay

[Miss Swanson 🍎 @missswansonn]

My goal is to always be a teacher who believes in my students and never discourages them #langislit https://t.co/ULgDQ3XFV4

Let's #reclaimmathematics from the elitists. Look at these achievements from students who were told they could not learn mathematics!

Relationships can grow with technology #langislit https://t.co/568YuhOVMu

[Alice Keeler @alicekeeler]

Good Ts can't be replaced by tech. What tech does is allow Ts to spend more time focusing on their learners & building those relationships.

@Hannah_Ernst19 @lily_morris19 It would be neat to have them write a letter at the end of the year too to see how far they come and grown!

[Miss Swanson 🍎 @missswansonn]

@Donna_Boerschle This is so cool! I bet there’s a lot of kids that would really engage with this type of work!

[Miss Swanson 🍎 @missswansonn]

I taught a lesson about the layers of the earth to my first-grade class and the next day I was in the classroom, one student came up full of excitement and showed me a picture of the earth that he found while reading. I was estatic to see his excitement around his findings!

[Miss Swanson 🍎 @missswansonn]

@Miss_Salzman I have seen growth in each and every one of the students I have been working with. It has been amazing to see some of them gain confidence in their voices!
