Find#1: I started to follow @LatinxEducation which focuses on empowering the Latinx community in North Carolina. It stood out to me because of their pinned tweet on an article called “An open letter to Ever López and all Latinx youth in North Carolina” It explains the incident that happens to Ever López who carried his Mexican flag around his shoulder during graduation. The principal asked the young man to remove his flag and later escorted his family out. It breaks my heart to read this. During graduation, I proudly wore my sarape sash to honor my roots and parents. I highly encourage everyone to read this article.
Find#2: I found a post by @mrmakemathsense after a search on the hashtag #teachbetter. It makes me realize that I should be using those reflective questions on my students. We should be asking them if the material they are learning brings them happiness and if they feel pride in their work. As teachers, we should always make sure students are proud of the work they do. It makes a huge difference in their confidence in the classroom
Find#3: I started to follow @lamaestraloca, @AdrienneBraden, and @senorjordan to add to my PLN. I decided to follow them because they are well-known Spanish teachers. Two of them use TPR strategies and I’m excited to learn how to apply them in my classroom.
Find#4: I rewetted a post by @KyleNiemis where he asked teachers podcasts they use to improve as educators. I would love to find one to listen to during the summer. I find podcasts extremely relaxing and a way to enjoy my coffee. I would like to see if there is one specifically for Spanish teachers.
Find#5: I found a Spanish meme on Twitter. It’s true. “Pedo” or fart can mean so many things in different contexts in Mexico. Such as “¿Que pedo?” as in “What’s up?” or “ What’s the problem?.”
