I've just got to share the good stuff I read.

I love to read. I read every chance I get. If I read something really good, I want to share it with my friends and co-workers. I make copies of magazine articles, read aloud to my students, tell others about good books I'm reading, and keep a book with me at all times.

I love teaching and learning new things. I need a place to share some of the lessons and what my students and I learn. Since my teaching situation is different from everyone else's in my school, I would like to tell all of you in the blog-o-sphere about these great lessons.

Feel free to share what you are reading, teaching and learning with us in the comments.

Recharging at TESOL Conference

A week or so ago I went to the 2015 TESOL conference in Toronto. I signed up for a school visit.


Here are some of the languages spoken in this school. The librarian has found books in the home languages of the children. Great way to validate culture.


There is a math room that students get to visit and where they explore math concepts.


All the students are kindergarten age- fours are Junior Kindergartners and fives are Senior Kindergartners. They use an inquiry based curriculum. I loved it.


Finally got to hear one of my TESOL heroes: Dr. Jim Cummins.


He shared these examples of Evidence-Free Policy. I so agree with everything he said.

Attending conferences is one professional activity that really helps me recharge my love of teaching.
