Bilingual Students

by Lucy S

Mar 5, 2017

Hello, I need some questions answered by a teacher who has a dual language learner(s) in their classroom. Thank you!

What language(s) are spoken by the DLL students in the class?

Do you gather information from the families about the language(s) spoken in the home? If so, how? Does your school have a particular form that is used? ...See More

EXERCISE ROLL CALL--SATURDAY

by Elaine/ret/IN

Mar 4, 2017

Just a half hour walk this morning with my friend. Wetter off to babysit for the grands tonight.

Thanks again for the kind words of condolence. We'd prayed for Mom to be released from her falling body and mind, but it is still a difficult time. Her funeral service was awesome; my minister sister officiated and did a phenomenal tribute to ...See More

judycaret Elaine, more hugs to you. I'm glad your mom is released and that the funeral was lovely. My mom has been gone for 5 years and there are days, especially hard days, when I so miss having a mom to tell me it will be okay. We all need moms.

Shorter walk for me, too, as it was a company day. We had a mini-party for son's 39th birthday. 39! Ha...See More

by Alison/Aus

My Mum is a Scrabble fanatic - has been for decades. My daughter is visiting her this weekend and they challenged each other to a game. Getting late into the game, and with them running neck and neck and my sister making up the numbers, Mum is sitting on FOUNTAIN and she's ready to put it on the T that is sitting on the edge on the lower right hand...See More

men I loved this his story. I was one of the older children of 8 and my father worked three jobs to support our family. However, playing Scrabble with him numerous times was one of the rare times I know I was singjlef out for one on one time with my father. Your story immediately brought back that memory. I could feel your mum and daughter's emotions a...See More

Cousin Dennis with GoServ Global currently in Guatamala setting up Saf-T-Homes serving villages as schools, clinics and orphanges. Blessman Ministries serving in Africa helping them become self sufficient(current group of Iowan's putting up greenhouses) in crops and jobs for women and caring for the families and children. My daughter's FFA Chapter president and vice president just completed Meals from the Heartland on Feb. 14th where they and their school packed 40,000 meals to be used all over the world. This was a community service project. Jessica working for a company that helps women who have been sold into slavery and rescued. My church team just got back from Haiti setting up housing for women and children or the Dominican team getting the second floor on a school. How about the team helping with the ranch in the Dakotas.

Heck so many teachers on this board do things daily for the children in their classrooms.

Thanks everyone for your work! It is appreciated very much!

Bill T (who doesn't either) Don't post here much, anymore. I retired four years ago, but still substitute in the school I retired from.

Yes, there are a lot of challenges and drawbacks to education, both public and non public, but I see a lot of teachers, particularly younger ones, innovating and overcoming, as well as older "veterans" persevering when the...See More
