#langchat can anyone recommend a good summer reading book for kids going into Spanish IV honors? My school requires it. Thanks!

i forgot how effective a good scavenger hunt can be! #langchat #iteachwl #edsky #boston ☀️ 😆 🌱 i gave my students 10 min to do it as today’s brain break bc it’s sooo nice out. ChatGPT helped l w ideas. They came back so excited & laughing so hard (especially bc of the last one)!!

These days make me recall this beautiful song & video by Jesse & Joy #immigration #langchat #spanish #edblue #iteachwl youtu.be/z1EB-fI0JDI?...

Wishing for peace in this world tonight. That no more children are hurt or killed ☮️

Can we talk abt summer job ideas for #teachers? I’m looking for something high paying where I can grab a week here, grab a week there. Does this gig exist or is it a 🦄? How are my fellow l #langchat #edsky #edusky #iteachwl teachers making 💵 this summer?

@theniceman.bsky.social would love to talk to you more abt dual coding. I do something related in my classroom & am working on a project abt art & memory - can you message me?

Oooh this is so good! “[CI], interaction & repetition are all vital…teachers can use the explicit and implicit in a synergistic way. Teach & practise grammar at the right time…but don't overdo it & remember that what we think we are teaching is not necessarily ending up in students' heads.”

Want to give a shout out to www.boomalang.co I signed my level 4 students up for 8 convos, $6.50 per student for each 15 min convo. They ❤️ it, I ❤️ it! Thanks @actfl.bsky.social for having them at the expo in philly #langchat #iteachwl #edsky #WLteacher

Fellow Spanish speakers, the podcast “ojalá lo hubiera sabido antes “ is so good! Episode on when 2 intervene & advise others: did they ask 4 my help? Do I have time? Do I want 2? If no, “déjales” live and learn. More on the temptation to control others: open.spotify.com/episode/2rRb...

Waiting for prez speech to start, thinking Stephen Colbert would make a good Mike Johnson on @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social, not as perfect a lookalike as Fey & Palin, but close!

Fellow lang teachers, here's how to put a creative spin on lessons dealing w/ verb to be, adjectives & identity 🎨✏️✒️. Blog's here: www.allynnlodge.com/blog/arts-in... @langchatpln.bsky.social #langchat #Edsky #IteachWL #spanish #french #ELE #teach #diversity #art #sharpie

The sound of the plow going by isn’t as sweet when you’re a #teacher & it’s the weekend. Another snow day falls on a Sunday here in Boston, alas! ❄️ ⛄️

#langchat @langchatpln.bsky.social #iteachwl #summer #Edsky #teacher what do my fellow teachers do for 💵 in the summer? I cant work the full 8 weeks, but can do 1-2 weeks here and there. What kind of job can that be? Need some ideas! Tutoring is an option but I wanna do something different!

Snow day on a non school day shouldn’t be allowed. ❄️ #boston #snow #winterwonderland

I love the bills but…..this Baltimore girl is saying Gooooooo Ravens! 🦀 💜 🖤 💛 🌻 #bawlmer #smalltimore #maryland #crabs #ravens #hon

There’s a 1 pt difference bt a B- & a C+ but the latter sends honors students into a tailspin; B- preserves relationship w teacher but C+ feels more truthful: which 2 give? Anyone else run into this conundrum when grading holistically (rubric)? #langchat #edsky #iteachwl

Really looking deeply at art - love that this is being promoted. www.bbc.com/travel/artic...

Also me

@langchatpln.bsky.social Oldie but goodie 2 day. 1 student describes art on board, the other draws, switch. Pics were of protest art (end of Guernica unit). Today = Guerilla Girls, John & Yoko. 2morrow = Diego Rivera, etc. Protest art is cool. #edsky #artsined #langchat #ADI #CI #protestart

A fine summative assessment of presentational speaking. Whether or not your target language is Spanish, this blog post is worth a read. #iTeachWL #Frenchteachers #langchat #langSky #Spanishteachers

Hi @langchatpln.bsky.social #langchat teachers, if you're planning oral presentations &/or thinking abt the #presentational mode & wondering what can can go 👍 and what can go 👎 in another teacher's class, here is a post for you! (Also if you ❤️ art, check it out): www.allynnlodge.com/blog/my-guer...

Happy new year @langchatpln.bsky.social #langchat I usually do this activity on 1st day back. They interact & share w group. They like. Adjust for what you covered in term 1! docs.google.com/document/d/1... I could do this again but want something fun on making resolutions. Anybody got something?

Happy New Year from Massachusetts ❤️

So someone hit the billion dollar jackpot in California! Damn! I’d buy 4 homes (MA, MD, VT & 🇪🇸), save $ for my mom & daughter’s futures, send my husband to biz school (his dream!), hire a personal chef, cleaner, trainer, masseuse, & acupuncturist & donate the rest. What would you do??

“Run a line around your think!” Love this advice for all our classrooms (art or otherwise) & keeping creativity alive in students of all ages #edblue #iteachfl #artsined #art #teaching #learning ✏️ 🎨 💡

#tbt came across this photo in a random email today: my old studio space right when I first got it in 2018! Closes up shop when I got pregnant. So much nostalgia in this pic. Miss rainy days making art in this space 🎨 ❤️ #artist #artined #norwoodspacecenter #joy

My Spanish 4H students’ #guernica inspired protest art is coming in! Fast fashion, police brutality, war…presentations next week, I can’t wait! #langchat #iteachwl #edusky #artsined @museoreinasofia.bsky.social

How many vocab words should pre AP honors students be learning in a week or in a month? My instinct says I need to teach waaaay more vocab. wondering what my fellow #edssky #langchat #actfl24 #iteachwl teachers think?

#langchat teachers of AP or pre AP, i have a question: I want to make powerpoints of useful vocab w synonyms in the TL & graphics but dont have time. Do any of you have your students make stuff like this? How do you structure an assignment like this? Classwork? Homework? Individual? Pairs? Curious!

Got to hear from Dr lisa Damour (author of emotional lives of teens) at school. Biggest takeaway: school is supposed to be hard, like weight lifting! Got me thinking abt some places where I prob need to raise the bar higher for my students! #iteachwl #langchat #blueteach #teens #edchat #stress

Feel proud than an AI 🤖 considers me an arts enthused level upper in everyone’s fave language themed video game lololol. So fun! Everyone should try @blueskyroast.bsky.social & see their stats. Thanks @doriec.bsky.social for posting abt it! #langchat #artsined #iteachwl 🖼️ 🎨 🇪🇸 💃 ✏️

Some student work in progress, pick an issue that matters to you & paint a #guernica inspired cubist piece w acuarelas. Cultural comparison to follow! Lesson plan on allynnlodge.com/blog & inspired by @placidolanguage.bsky.social #langchat #artsined #iteachwl

Hi #langchat #adi #iteachWL Spanish teachers! I wanna do a unit on waste, specifically e-basura & fast fashion. Hoping generous curriculum designers like @marishawkins.bsky.social @placidolanguage.bsky.social @mmeblouwolff.bsky.social mite have something 2 share? Anyone done something like this?

Just watched #buythis on Netflix and it reinforced my commitment to not buying anything on #blackfriday 🤮

#actfl takeaway: when u fully leave behind the daily grind of ur normal environment & open urself up to new ppl & perspectives, so much new inspiration comes! Highlight 4 me was convo had at dinner w these educators! @erina33.bsky.social @sotomayormantri.bsky.social @nicolehart.bsky.social #actfl24

Does anyone wanna meet today to workshop current lessons or new ideas? I wld ❤️ some fresh eyes on what I’m planning & wld happily offer feedback to u 2! Meet at round tables at edge of expo hall expo hall (next to voces booth / senor wooly?) Tell me when you’re free! #langchat #actfl24

Hi! I'm new to BlueSky! 'Twas time to leave X. I want to share my ideas about education & teaching languages. I want to learn from other professionals. On X I liked the hashtag #langchat and #flteach - do they still exist here?
