An oldie but so relevant!! ( For all of us!)

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Alice Munro’s relationship with The New Yorker began in 1977 and lasted for the rest of her writing life and more than 50 stories. “Working with her on the last two dozen or so was both a thrill and a lesson in intentionality,” Deborah Treisman writes. https://t.co/N0OZFJj5jG

My brother coached Zach Hyman when he was around 10, 11, 12 years old for a few years.

It was a stacked team. Skinner, Balisy, McFarland, Smith-Pelley and Toffoli to name a few.

Hyman was not even close to being the best player. Not even close.

But, my brother said he was always the hardest worker. Every practice, every shift, every game. Always.

People thought he was only on the team because his dad was involved in hockey. He had to listen to that every year. But it never fazed him.

He epitomizes what hard work is. Look at him now.

The best 10, 11, or 12 year old is not always the best 25 or 30 year old. Remember that kids. Work hard.

Congrats Zach.

A common question from families of multilingual learners is, “how can I help my child acquire language at home?”

Caregivers want to help. They want the best for their children. Here are some practical ways that family members can take part in their child’s language acquisition.

These moves can be done in multiple languages and help to develop or see and literacy.

"We say, 'how do we get kids prepared for the real world?' and that's never been my focus, it's actually 'how do we get kids to a situation where they make the real world better?' That's a very different way of thinking."
