A new addition to my #stack for #writingworkshop to model #translanguaging, and to start the discussions around classroom #languageagreements. How do we communicate with speakers of other languages? #whereshalmoni #ellchat Matt Glover #ellchat_bkclub #ell #EAL #CanDo #aisgz

Ss #languageagreements in #firstgrade. Valuing our #multilingual Ss and having #metacognition about when to use our languages. It’s a work in progress. Hoping Ss will eventually see the value of using their L1 in class with #translanguaging. #aisgz #CanDo

I keep laughing at a #firstgrade moment last week. When we discussed how to calm our bodies, a student put her hands in gyana mudra, and said that we could do “yogurt.” 🧘‍♀️ #yoga #kids

Other than #WheresHalmoni, I used these 2 books to spark discussions around our languages. Spanish helped me share mine, Chinese validated many of them. Discussion Q: Why did the author choose to use two languages in this book? #eal #ealchat #translanguaging #cando

We are so lucky to have a #schoolgarden AISGZ to learn in during and after school! The SS love growing, eating, and exploring. Amy Lee #aisgz

A fantastic afternoon with Dr. Andrea Honigsfeld. So lucky to glean some of her expertise on #coteaching. #collaboration #ells

International Mother Language Day #imld is just over a month away. I am searching for meaningful ideas that we can do at elementary to celebrate all our languages. #ellchat #ell #cando #multilingual #mothertongue #translanguaging

#onlinelearning is definitely teaching me a lot! Thank goodness for a fantastic team to do this with. #collaboration

What better time to become a #seesaw ambassador then when you’re doing a whole month of #onlinelearning? Grateful for this app and my coteachers who have taught me so much about it. Seesaw Jessica Phillips

This screenshot does not capture the magic of my Grade 5 mentees getting to skypeascientist about their research questions. Danielle Kloster did a phenomenal job of breaking down complex topics into manageable parts. They now want to be scientists. #pypx2020 #ibpyp #aisgz

Google’s New “Aloud” Tool Could Be A Huge Asset To Teachers Who Want To Make Their Content Accessible To ELLs larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2022/03/09/goo…

Fascinating to hear more around negativity bias. youtu.be/3ThUrVXz9j0. A big thanks to my Mindful Schools class for sharing!

"...planning for content, language, and culture learning targets is the first step in empowering students to own their entire identities and deeper learning." languagemagazine.com/2022/08/22/con…

Great article highlighting how Ss can plan, revise, and publish differently than we usually consider. tinyurl.com/2p8mdz74
