If anyone would like to share what their favorite fairy tale is, I would love to hear it! Especially non-western.

Huh. If I send an email about adding a student to an intervention group at a certain time, and the class schedule has changed since BOY to where they are now at lunch and recess at that time... maybe a reply is in order? Before I try to come collect the kid for my group? 🤷♀️

In a 5th grade grammar and writing class we were talking about using intersections to show emotions in writing, and they said "oops" could show regret, then "feeling regretful" and one kid went full generative mode and started producing: "regretless? Disregret? Unregret?" 🤣

I just saw an implication that someone believed "middle-aged" was an agist slur?
Is this new and/or common??

Is "I apologize for any (negative effect) that may have been occurred due to (thing/event)." an acceptable apology, in you opinion?
Does it change for you whether it comes from lower or higher relative power?

Does anyone use an iPad to record short conversations? I need to be able to get mp3s I can easily transfer to a Google drive for my kindergarteners' English portfolios, and I'm looking for app recommendations, as an ipad is the teacher device i have on hand. Thanks in advance! #linguistics

Our school speech path stopped me in the hall today to say he wants to work with me on better procedures for evaluating bilingual & English-learner students for speech services, since the district's bilingual path is overstretched and he doesn't think they are getting the attention the deserve!

I keep one thinking about one kindergarten kid who told me himself, in Spanish, that he only speaks Spanish, and very much behaves in a way that reinforces that... but whose mom told the classroom teacher she speaks to him mostly in English and he should be understanding things just fine???

I decided to build language portfolios for my ML kinders this year. I have a good way to digitally scan and add print materials, looking for simple/easy way to collect/store short speaking samples if anyone has any thoughts!
I want to be able to track progress more effectively.
