It's so disingenuous when people say that "building relationships" is the opposite of "teaching content" or routines or whatever. It's not a binary!!!!

A second grader told me today: “I think adults need coffee in the morning to have fun.” He said kids don’t need coffee for fun. And that is a true statement 😂

Hi! I am Maris and I teach elementary and middle school Spanish in DC! I am PUMPED for #langchat to be back! I listen to a ton of different music but hits from the 90s and early 00's are my favorites (and I probably know all the lyrics!)

A1: So I haven't taught second grade in a LONG time! Leaning into silly songs and fun is working! Today we danced to this song to reinforce a phrase from a story! #langchat youtube.com/watch?v=9HU0ht…

A2: I am teaching in 4 different classrooms in 2 different buildings. It is so important for me to really plan out what I need when and where each day so I don't have to keep walking back and forth (like today when I forgot my lunch and charger in the other building!) #langchat

A3: Wayyyy too many teachers to name! But I am grateful to #langchat that introduced me to so many of these amazing teachers.

A3b I’d also like to shout out to Kia D. London 🇨🇺 who is such an amazing listener and mentor. I love the space she has created for us to discuss IDEA #langchat

So grateful for #langchat to provide the time for me to sit and reflect on my practice while talking with friends!!! ❤️

Thanks to everyone who joined us tonight for our live #LangChatRelaunch! If you weren't able to participate with tonight's live #LangChat, please join us at whatever moment works for you. Use the tag #SlowChat so we can find you in the next few days.

Just picked up this copy! Do any other language teachers employ these strategies?! Loving what I am reading so far and I would love to talk to more teachers about it! #langchat
