Spring in the Tot Orchard 🌺🌷🌺
🍎Our Tot Orchard is designed for 0-3 year-olds to crawl, socialize, gather, and dump! Pick an apple, watch it roll, practice walking, or simply enjoy being in a space designed for our little loves to observe and sense new things. It’s the best. #kidsquestmuseum

Not everybody aquires language by hearing, some are exposed to languages visually #uniqueways

Children learn language in unique ways, making errors along the way. No worries! As they hear more language, their words and sentences become more adult-like. Embrace the learning process! 🌱📚 #ILABS #languagelearning

Grad workers face rampant discrimination in the workplace at @UNM. But don’t just take it from us. We have testimony after testimony showcasing these horrible working conditions. That’s why we are picketing next week! 🧵
