We gifted these to the kids in 2019; finally getting around to hanging them today. I’m not sure why it took so long but I’m happy they are finally up and we can enjoy them. #Ratatouille is their favorite #Disney movie and our impromptu trip to the park that summer is one we will remember always. On a Saturday afternoon, we listened to a friend talk about his planned holiday to the place “where dreams come true” and we reminisced about our last visit. We woke the next morning wondering what we should do in the upcoming week (Patrick the week off, intending on a motorcycle trip with his buddies, but a mechanical issue with his bike prevented him from being able to go). Someone suggested Disney and before we could blink we had purchased airfare and reserved a room. It was one of our most memorable vacations. #welltraveledfamily

I got my first dose just yesterday. After the recent news, I am not certain the second will be available 28 days from now but as Hamilton would say, I’m not throwing away my shot. On a side note, my shoulder is sore but otherwise I feel fine.

I coordinated a #naturewalk today for a few of my #emergingbilinguals. It was a beautiful day and we were blessed with an unexpected discovery of bear tracks! I think my highlight, however, were the frogs. I don’t think the girls had ever caught one before and it was a new experience for them. We also saw evidence of beaver, observed tiny little red mites swimming in the #vernalponds, and made friends with several horses with whom we shared the trail. I can’t wait to see the journal entries the girls do as they document the day in their #naturejournal. #ellteacher #eslteacher #esl #ell #esol #esolteacher #beartracks #oregon #oregondunes #oregonmasternaturalist #juniornaturalist #STEAM #environmentalscience #juniornaturalists #naturestudy

One of the first things I created for my classroom

One of the first things I created for my classroom before school began were these positive affirmations for the mirror (the mirror was a part of the room when I started). I meet with most of my students virtually on Zoom but I am fortunate to work with three in person. To my surprise, this young lady has enjoyed writing the affirmations on flash cards (her own idea). On Thursday, she was inspired to write a note to her classmate, “I am astonishing. You are too!” #selflove #sel #esl #ell #socialemotionallearning #emergentbilingual #ellteacher #eldeducator #growthmindset

Earlier this week, I asked my #ell students to share the first couple of words that come to mind when they reflect on 2020. While most of the words they shared were similar in theme, my final class misunderstood and entered “snowflake”. I hadn’t expected the image I had uploaded for aesthetic purposes to sway them. That aside, their words are poignant and reflective of how they are feeling. Thank you for the inspiration, @ell_lady !! 🥰 #eslteacher #emergentbilinguals #2020words #wordcloud #bellwork #iteachesl #onlineteaching

My top 9 posts from 2020. It has definitely been a challenging year; one I continue to reflect upon. While I generally create a photo book at the end of each calendar year, we took so few photos of any interest that the project doesn’t seem worthwhile. I’m looking forward to new challenges and experiences.

I’ve been looking forward to linguistics since I first began the coursework requirements for my ESOL certification. I’m looking forward to learning how everything connects. #esolteacher #esl #ell #mkbkids
