Babies aren't better than you at learning a language. They just have no way to escape having great Comprehensible Input. If you set up your environment the same way you can learn even faster than them.

We are proud of these 2020 Mason High School graduating seniors who have earned the Ohio Seal of Biliteracy Seal of Biliteracy for their high proficiency in English and one other language! Languages include: Arabic, French, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish. Congratulations!

Who is your teacher? Ss examine artifacts from my life and in small groups draw conclusions based on what they see. Interpreting some authentic Spanish resources along the way too! Also helpful to see how groups/individuals work 👍🏽

Great card talk idea from Cynthia Hitz for getting to know students— works for remote or in-person!

Gotta love the “seating chart quick-write”. Make copies for each student. “Tell me what you know about your classmates”...

Your students are the best source of what to talk about— Grant Boulanger

I am absolutely loving using socio emotional learning checks to begin the day, and more in depth ones to close the week on Fridays #langchat . Here are some examples, I have compiled, you can get a free copy here if you haven't already 👉🏽 fantastic-creator-3807.ck.page/620065dc89

Grateful for daily silent reading time w/ Span 3 Mason High School. Today outside in courtyard. If I can move the needle at all towards pleasure reading in my Ss, it will have been worth it. Today’s read for me: Senderos Fronterizos by Francisco Jiménez.

Love that our World Language shift to proficiency Mason High School is getting some press in the MHS Chronicle!

Class-created story comics are essential part of free reading library for beginner learners! Used Michael Peto templates. Build confidence with familiar class-created texts.

Just the boost I needed after a long day. Student note on a formative quick write in Spanish 1.

Looking forward to this as well!

.Quizlet, why can’t I upload an image for a diagram? Getting an error every time. Other Ts reporting the same. Image is not too large. Thank you!

What does a safe/effective learning environment look like? Ideas from my Spanish 3👇and good discussion around the intersection of it being “comfortable” - with “no judgement” - and where we “speak Spanish” 😀

First blind write in level 1! Love seeing what’s in their head and early attempts at communication. 😄

Hey formative, I love you but can you please add a special character input bar so my Spanish students can use accented letters? Or is it there and I’m missing it? Thank you!
