@MorceaseBeasley It’s been an honor to work under your leadership as a beginning educator. We will miss you in CCPS!

@totalstemteach i also do this - most of the time, they either needed help and didn’t know how to ask for it, or had personal things going on. every single student has taken advantage of second chances - i teach a foreign language, practice makes perfect!

A6 My takeaway? Language educators can still band together and support each other, regardless of the circumstances! #langchat

Q5 I’m looking at keeping digital copies of everything and making work computer friendly in case something like this happens again, and to make everything more accessible from home. #langchat

@ADiazMora That sounds amazing!! I hope to find a similar PD regarding heritage learners. #langchat

@efaithnc @iamAprilMayo we really made it huh 🥺🥺

[Lawren Mayo @srta_mayoesp]

A3 I have really appreciated @iamAprilMayo , my mentor teacher, my university mentor, my boss, and @efaithnc during this unprecedented time! 💖💖 #langchat

A2 I am staying connected through email, google classroom, and a google form that has them check in with me and tell me how they’re doing and if they need support or help! #langchat

A1 I have gravitated towards asynchronous, mostly due to difficulties scheduling with my middle schoolers, and some have very limited access or shared devices. Instead, they’re creating their own schedules and working at their own pace! #langchat

@tmsaue1 thank you!!

TA: Indepent reading in the target language is not only possible but can build my students up and teach them new perspectives! #langchat

[Lawren Mayo @srta_mayoesp]

A5 I don’t currently have any post reading activities but I’d love to discuss with students what they took away from the book and what it means to them! #langchat

[Lawren Mayo @srta_mayoesp]

A4 I want to ensure that my library has different authors, perspectives, genres and topics of varying length and difficulty to support all learners and their interests #langchat

[Lawren Mayo @srta_mayoesp]

A3 I hope to start encouraging them to read by building their self confidence and having lots of different genres/topics to choose from - hopefully if it interests them, they may be less reluctant! #langchat

[Lawren Mayo @srta_mayoesp]

@AggieAshley I love the sound of that! Hopefully if I model correctly then they’ll choose well for themselves. I really want to do this next year! #langchat

[Lawren Mayo @srta_mayoesp]

A1 (for real this time) I currently do not have an independent reading program due to being an intern (and teaching middle school spanish) but that’s something i hope to implement next year in my own classroom! #langchat

[Lawren Mayo @srta_mayoesp]

@MisClasesLocas one of my favorites!!

[Lawren Mayo @srta_mayoesp]

A1 Hola! My name is Lawren and I am a student teacher in Wilmington NC. I’m currently reading Como Agua Para Chocolate by Laura Esquivel! #langchat

[Lawren Mayo @srta_mayoesp]

@Elisabeth13 They’re offering it free through June!!

[Lawren Mayo @srta_mayoesp]

A3 Last week was the soft roll out of online learning and this week is spring break, but I’m having them do Señor Wooly (which has listening and working with language) and I just set up This Is Language accounts for them...otherwise looking for suggestions! #langchat

[Lawren Mayo @srta_mayoesp]

A5 This is the hard one...they have posted in flipgrid but we’re just beginning, so we’ll see where this goes in the next few weeks!! #langchat
