Sophomores-Seniors and I are still adjusting to shift from 4x4 block to 6 period schedule. As we explore endangered animals, there are days where we need to pull out the pâte à modeler and bricoler un peu. Listening activities can take multiple forms.

Would it be possible to get the area radio stations like KBLI, KIRO, etc to share this on the traffic reports? When I saw the slow down at 5:45, I checked the radio stations at 6:00, & again: No information. Can’t check socials while driving. We need traffic radio coverage, please.

My goal to promote membership in professional organizations. At the 2025 AATF convention, I recorded 22 members sharing their reasons for being a French teacher & AATF member. Culturally, we’re seeing fewer educators joining orgs in preference of online platforms. We can do both. Your thoughts?

❓How many businesses are connected to a global partner?
❓How many visitors from around the world do you "welcome" for tourism and other reasons?

I know of a current leader in a Federal position whose grandchildren attend Dual Language Mandarin schools. Hmm, why would they do that?

❓Do you want your students and next generation to interact with others in respectful and appropriate manners?
❓Do you want students to be prepared for global experiences?
❓Could your students benefit from extra cognitive experiences in rhetoric and soft skills?
