Last day before break!
A lot of solid work happened this semester.
Language routines.
Clearer instruction.
Better conversations in classrooms.
Hope the break gives you some real space to reset.
Happy Holidays!

Back with NEISD this week.
First VNG training for elementary science.
And honestly… it just felt great to be back!
Once teachers saw how visuals support language, the room relaxed.
Less pressure. More student talk.
Solid first step!

Excited to be at HSD2’s Newcomer Summit!
Sharing sessions on structured conversations and visuals. Two small moves that make a huge difference for newcomer students.
Simple routines. Clear prompts. Visuals that actually support thinking.
It’s amazing what opens up when kids get those tools!

December already?
Feels like a good time to slow the pace a bit and focus on the work that matters: strong visuals, solid routines, and space for kids to use their voice.
Language growth never takes a holiday!

Thanksgiving always makes me slow down and reflect on the work I get to do.
I’m genuinely thankful to be part of Seidlitz Education.
This team makes it possible to visit schools, work with teachers, and actually see language learning shift for kids. That’s a gift… and yeah, I’m grateful for that.

When a student explains a science concept using words they couldn’t even pronounce in October.
That’s not just content. That’s language. That’s learning.
