Blue paint chips either word blue written in Spanish, French, Thai, Chinese and Ukrainian
Gotta love paint chips! I made a couple of sets of these cards as mini centers, using languages spoken by kiddos in our school. A simple way to integrate & represent home languages :) #earlylang #langchat #ABAR #representation

We then dove into Blaz's excellent discussion of DI in world language classes from Henshaw and Potowski's (2024) Honing our Craft. Really a wonderful lesson on how this is key for creating an interactive, discovery learning experience for #earlylang students!

Just finished a lesson with this excellent video on differentiated instruction from the amazing @larryferlazzo.bsky.social for my #earlylang MAT class. It sparks discussion but also reassurance for students who have had overwhelming information on DI in the past! 1/2
