3/ observing kids & their behaviors informs us as to what makes a good fit when thinking about what to provide as supports, soothers, etc. Generic “fidgets” often don’t work bc they aren’t a good match for the kiddo they are given to. #langchat #ABAR #inclusiveEducation

2/ in this instance, I’ve wrapped dinos in masking tape so my little friends can pick off the tape. I have a few who will pick at anything, so this provides a substitute instead of materials, posters, etc. #langchst #ABAR

Novelty: knowing surprises & novel items/activities are a key ingredient in capturing the attention of neurodiverse brains, such as #ADHD, incorporating them as a matter of course creates a more inclusive space… #Langchat #edusky #ABAR 1/

Acquaintance is definitely a word that has fallen out of use. Happy to see it make a resurgence!

How does that pepper feel? A simple writing activity for my third graders… I love talking bubble stickies for activities like this! #earlylang #langchat #writing

Instead of people saying “illegal immigrants can’t get healthcare and that’s against the law,” I wish more people said “health care is a human right and we need to invest in systems that make sure everyone gets what they need.”

And that’s my story.

Hard to blame the Democrats for the shutdown when you're in charge of all 3 branches of government, plus the Supreme Court.

Happy European Day of Languages! I've been working with 13 schools and 3 hospital settings to create Sheffield's "Quilt of Welcome", with words that make children feel happy, welcome, and safe in their various languages. What words make you happy - in any language? @sheffielduni.bsky.social

1. Telling trans people that even if Democrats won't protect us we should be selfless and vote for them to protect other people is a shitty thing to say. Asking for our rights and calling out Dems when they won't support us doesn't help fascists. Tell Democrats to support and defend us instead.

I am so sorry, no one deserves to be treated so hatefully
