Today in Level 2, we used the popular game "Among Us" to inspire an activity! This conversational game was actually co-created by a student of mine after she had seen a Tik Tok where another teacher used it in her class. Directions to follow: #langchat

I am grateful for the opportunity to work from home and very aware of what a privilege it is. My thoughts are with everyone that leaves their home in order to keep our world moving. Shout out to healthcare workers, daycare workers, grocery store clerks, and so many more! #covid19

@profenygaard Shout out to the amazing WL teachers like you who have prepared and made available for free so many excellent quality resources. Altamar Temporada 1 es increíble. Muchísimas gracias. #sharingiscaring #COVID19WL

If you own my Year 2 Bundle, be aware that the unit "La biografía de una persona influyente" is the PERFECT unit for distance learning. #schoolsclosing #spanishteachers

@Adopt_classroom I had a student request a book for our classroom library about LGBTQ topics and I was able to get it with funds from @Adopt_classroom 👏 The book was: Ya no vivo yo: La travesía de un hijo homosexual a Dios. #InclusiveEducators2020

@Adopt_classroom There are two books in my classroom library in Spanish that have LGBTQ characters, Julio and Los Tres Amigos. #InclusiveEducators2020

@Adopt_classroom I have a rainbow sticker that says "safe" in the window that students can see as they enter my classroom. #InclusiveEducators2020

[Courtney Nygaard @profenygaard]

@KaraGirsch Those are some great ideas!! ❤️ What program do you use for screen recording your voice?

[Courtney Nygaard @profenygaard]

For me, giving students a safe place to share their voice is what an inclusive classroom looks like. #InclusiveEducators2020

[Courtney Nygaard @profenygaard]

@Adopt_classroom Viaje a la tierra del abuelo is a great book for heritage students. Also, Stef Soto la reina del taco. ❤️ #InclusiveEducators2020

@KaraGirsch What tips and tricks do you have for not leaving any of your students out? It can be overwhelming to get to know all 150 of them!

#InclusiveEducators2020 During our hybrid identity unit students made posters to show how they are different than the stereotypes about their race.

[Courtney Nygaard @profenygaard]

This year I taught a unit about hybrid identity in my Heritage Speakers class. Identity is not straight forward. Many of my students identify with more than one culture. #InclusiveEducators2020

[Courtney Nygaard @profenygaard]

@Adopt_classroom My heritage speaking students LOVE graphic novels. The boys in my class love the Diario de Greg series. #InclusiveEducators2020
