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!

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

@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

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?

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??

#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

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
