Excited to be bringing this workshop: Becoming Agents of Change: The Work BEFORE the Work to #ACTFL21. Just like us, it's serious, but also fun. Please join us for our 1pm #simulive on Saturday! Note: We'll likely be interpretive dancing to @Adele before, during, and after.

Stretch your hammies, @NYSAFLT because @Stephen_Krawec & I are brushing off the GoogleSlides tomorrow to show you how we bring #FUN into our #Reading units…(& everything else, including “serious” professional photo shoots where none of our pics can be used 😂) #NYSAFLTSI21

A #Pride reminder: 24 anti-LGBTQ laws have been enacted in states this year. 13 of them are explicitly anti-trans. The fight for equality is far from over.

#Pride is here, and so is The Trevor Project 🧡 1.8 million LGBTQ young people have seriously considered suicide in the U.S. in the past year. We're here for LGBTQ youth who need us with free 24/7 crisis resources 📲 Join us in supporting them: trvr.org/Pride21 🌈

This level of support is why I could never work for anyone else, even though I resign every single day ❤️ Find yourself a boss who will get into the 🥊 ring for you
I’m so disappointed in myself to learn that I financially & energetically supported a co. that so openly goes against my belief system as a human & educator b/c I got so caught up in the language learning that I didn’t go deeper. Ss= human beings 1st, language learners 2nd.Punto.

Today a 4th grader asked why we always learn about past wars and not the ones going on right now.

Whoaaaaa!!! Grateful to have both colleagues and students I can grow, laugh, learn, and make mistakes with! @Stephen_Krawec so proud of you, of us, of our magical (yes magical) team, and our incredible @AllenStevenson_ community for leaning into the discomfort. #nectfl21

Although I’m ready to 🪓my v old, v slow 💻 (@Apple, want to sponsor this teacher?) by 4PM every day, I still try to take a moment to send 1 positive 💌 home every day. Let’s remind the families we serve how 🍀 we are to witness the gifts their children bring us each day.

After all, I don’t teach Spanish. Spanish is my content area. I teach children. Human children. With personalities and goals and interests and passions and insecurities and stress. And we all need a little extra ❤️ these days. Reach out!

If you are a teacher: you are not alone. If you know a teacher: check in on them. If you are a parent: consider sending a kind email/note to your child's teacher. #teachinginapandemic
