So excited about my Bitmoji classroom! My favorite part: La Candelaria (Bogotá’s historic neighborhood) through the window. I can’t wait to meet the kids next week 💙🤍💙 #gslearning #GulliverWL #GulliverRaiders #Spanishclass

A different type of “autorretrato” created by my Ss and inspired by Picasso to illustrate their written self-portraits. @GulliverPrep_ #gslearning #GulliverWL #langchat

I love my Ss’ “autorretratos” inspired by Picasso, Frida Kahlo, and Velázquez to illustrate their written self-portraits. @GulliverPrep_ #gslearning #langchat #GettyMuseumChallenge @GettyMuseum #GulliverWL

What tools are u using to support the virtual learning experience? I have been using @GoogleForEdu & @nearpod to engage Ss during the lesson, @flipgrid for Ss to easily record themselves speaking Spanish, and @quizlet as a our vocabulary learning resource. #langchat #gslearning

Coming up next: @quizlet live + @zoom_us breakout rooms, & @gimkit with audio prompts to practice listening comprehension. What tools have you found useful to make your Ss virtual learning experience a successful one? #langchat #spanishclass #gslearning

On the first day of virtual learning my students gave to me #GulliverGratitude notes... and I loved them! 💙 So excited to be able to keep seeing my Ss in spite of social distancing #gslearning #GulliverPride #GulliverFamily

SEE👀TELL💭DRAW🎨 A fun interpersonal communicative activity to practice descriptions. One S sees the picture and describes it to the other who then has to draw it based on what they understood. #GulliverWL #gslearning #langchat #ACTFL #teachmoreSpanish

Thoughtful acrostic poems as sweet gifts from our “amigo secreto” (secret friend) for “el día del amor y la amistad” (Valentine’s Day). #gslearning #GulliverWL #langchat #Spanishclass #ValentinesDay #kindness

Ss making each other’s day a little sweeter after after learning about the Colombian traditions for #elDíadelAmorylaAmistad. This S was surprised with this sweet anonymous note on her desk when she got to class.#amigosecreto #cultureinaction #gslearning #langchat #Spanishclass

Getting novice Ss to casually use the past tense, like it’s no big deal. 😎 To keep it going, I now ask: “¿Qué hiciste el fin de semana?” or “¿Qué hiciste ayer?”. It’s amazing how they are transferring this skill! #teachmorespanish #GulliverWL #gslearning #langchat

Did you know you can add audio only questions to your #gimkit kits? It’s a fun way to practice listening comprehension. #interpretivemode #actfl #langchat #teachmorespanish #spanishclass #GulliverWL #gslearning

The interactive notebooks have been a success! They have empowered even my shyest Ss to be confident & participate in class. Bonus: Ss are seeing me take a risk, try something new, & revise & adjust as needed. #growthmindset #spanishclass #langchat #gslearning #GulliverWL

Excited to try #interactive notebooks! I think they are going to be a great tool to help ALL kids study and learn how to organize their knowledge. #langchat #teachmorespanish #GulliverWL #gslearning #growthmindset #adventuresinA10 #spanishteachers

¿Has visto a mi muñeco de nieve? Ss in #Spanishclass wrote a description of a snowman and illustrated it. They then read each other’s descriptions to match them to the snowmen. They enjoyed this communicative activity. #actfl #langchat #gslearning #GulliverWL @GulliverSchools

Lentils in your pocket? Running around the block with suitcases? “3 pies”? Ss are having fun playing Colombian aguinaldos and learning about our New Year’s Eve traditions with a jigsaw activity. #gslearning #langchat @GulliverSchools #GulliverWL
