Language is rooted to our identity. When we try to hide it, suppress, or ignore this part of ourselves, we never truly flourish into the spectacular beauty we were designed to become. - Valentina Gonzalez #multilingualkids #bilingualchildren #teachingresources #teachingideas

Congratulations to our students who were recently Reclassified-Fluent English Proficient! This takes hard work and perseverance and we are SO proud of our scholars. Please join us in celebrating their accomplishments as they give us enormous #davisduckspride! #ThinkFeelThrive
Great read! “[use] the instructional level as an outcome rather than a starting point… if on Monday you begin working with a text…at a frustration level, by Friday they should be able to read it with the levels of fluency and comprehension fit instructional level criteria.”

Love this idea. It really helps students focus on both speaking AND listening…really listening.

“Explicit spelling versus invented spelling is a false dichotomy. I encourage both – and did so in my classroom teaching, in my research, and these days even in what I urge on my grandkids.”

Kids have to learn to negotiate text complexity. Teachers (and publishers) should be selecting texts that will challenge kids in particular ways.
