Don’t let anyone fool you into believing there isn’t space for you, that you don’t belong, or that you need to fit into a mold. Embrace your differences and let them shine like the gems they are. 💎

What if your parent told you to pack a backpack with what you'll take to another country. As a teenager, can you imagine what that would feel like? Emily Fɾαɳƈιʂ took the letters her mom had written her. They gave her #HOPE! #TABE2022

We don't make a child tell their story. It took me several years to tell mine. We can use literature to help them see themselves. -Emily Fɾαɳƈιʂ #TABE2022

In their invisible backpack they carry their culture. -Emily Fɾαɳƈιʂ #TABE2022

We’re not a melting pot, we’re more like a caldo🫶🏻

Another powerful testimonial that promotes reading and writing about the newcomer experience. By giving our students opportunities to share their personal journeys, we can affirm their strength and courage, emboldening them to build strong identities. TABE @EISDMultilingual

This film portraits a reality & a responsibility many #Multilingual students across the country assume from an early age. English proficiency means access & our students become a bridge between their homes & the outside world. ⁦#Traductores #Translators translatorsfilm.com

Starting the day at #TABE2023 w/ Dr. José Medina (él, he, his, him) spreading desmadre: “I’ve never written a language target and my kids do great.” “Yes, kids are so great they sometimes succeed despite the teacher. But some kids don’t and they become long-term English learners. And WE did that.”

WHATACONFERENCE! Dual language teachers across the district are learning together at the TABE conference while celebrating the Hispanic culture 😃💗. #coltlives212 #marblefallsisd Sylvia Villarreal Soor-el Puga
