I ❤️HBUHSD and all of the wonderful people I get to work with. Encouraging me to get my #EL students #ELPAC tested by sending me chocolate is genius! They know me well.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Being “colorblind” is not the solution to racism. See people fully. Love people deeply.

[Guadalupe Melgoza @mrsmelgoza]

@GholdyM I love your mission: “to say what is best or remain silent.” You in particular bring joy and hope by NOT being silent. Thank you for your powerful workshop. I promise to continue teaching in #kindnessandlove and to #drinkwater 😂

[Guadalupe Melgoza @mrsmelgoza]

Super excited for this.

@cquicklearning @NataliaESL Yes! I've seen great improvement in my student's writing with mentor texts.

[Guadalupe Melgoza @mrsmelgoza]

Sometimes we need to ask Ss to not only reflect on their performance, but ours as well. That first answer made me cry of joy. #ELLs #ESL #LTELs #educators #educhat #edchat #Iloveteaching

@CarolJago Got mine yesterday and it hasn’t been fun. Fever won’t break since last night. I’m exhausted.

I love this part so much!! As I wrote with another quote, don’t assume anything. You never know what a student knows (or has experienced) until you ask - especially while kids are still at home & remote! 😊💻👩🏻‍🏫#Ellchat_BkClub #MotivatingELLs

[Guadalupe Melgoza @mrsmelgoza]

@ELmagazine 100%. Ss are often misjudged for not being present, yet so much goes on at home that affects their ability to see the importance of an education. Who can really blame them? All we can do is be present for them no matter how often they join us.

One year ago I never thought we’d go a whole year without our usual school hallway talks before class. It was only about a new haircut, but it made my day! #education #TeacherLife #TeachingOnline #hybridlearning

[Guadalupe Melgoza @mrsmelgoza]

Tried @PlayBlooket for the first time with my students after two long days of testing. They asked if we could begin the first few minutes of each class with a game. Lots of class competition and interaction. Loved it! #studentengagement #educhat #ELLs #bonding #remoteteaching

[Guadalupe Melgoza @mrsmelgoza]

@DrETontheBorder Same, translated for my mom everywhere, including at the doctor’s office where they were not always so nice to my mom about not knowing English. Plus, I had to hug and kiss every family member upon arrival and again on the way out of a get-together.

[Guadalupe Melgoza @mrsmelgoza]

@JessieNicole218 Thank you! I was lucky to have you and Melissa there to help. Since then, I’ve been testing students I had never met before, so that has been a bit challenging. So far so good!

[Guadalupe Melgoza @mrsmelgoza]

State #testing #remote and #hybrid students can in fact be done simultaneously. But dang I’m tired! #education #hybridlearning #ELLs #ESL #emergentbilinguals

[Joe Vogel @JoeVogel_]

There are 43 million native Spanish speakers in the United States. Having a statement read in Spanish during a White House press briefing — especially about a topic as critical as gender equality — is so deeply impactful. Gracias, Julissa Reynoso.

Tu eres importante; Tu contribución es importante; No estamos solas. ¡Aquí estoy yo contigo! Siempre apoyándonos una a la otra. No somos invisibles. El mundo lo sabe; Aquí desde el comienzo. Pa’ delante en harmonía y en gracia como siempre. #InternationalWomensDay

[Guadalupe Melgoza @mrsmelgoza]

@specialtechie #ELL teacher and district facilitator in CA. F2F for most of the year off and on. I’m teaching remote and hybrid at the same time. @PearDeck (& technology as a whole) is my best friend. #pd4uandme

[Guadalupe Melgoza @mrsmelgoza]

My daughter’s English teacher, Mr. Brown, assigned a family hike for extra credit, so here we are. Smart way to help families connect with nature during this time. I love our #marinahighschool teachers #goVikings @MHSVikingNews

@emilyfranESL @patricia_engel 100 x yes!
