Been about five years since I first read this, on the English language's *completely universal but totally invisible* adjective hierarchy, and I can honestly say I've thought about it most days since.

We differentiate instruction because not all multilingual learners are the same. They each bring unique strengths, individual English levels, and distinct styles of learning to the table. 💪 #DifferentiateInstruction #ELLChat #ELL

EL students at Holling Heights are helping to ring in the the holidays by decorating a tree for Jingle 2021. It's great to see all the languages of our wonderful multi-lingual students displayed.

I saw Jim Gaffigan last night - he was hilarious. He made a great analogy: My kids were asked to do their school work on the same device they use to play Minecraft. That's like having a Weight Watchers meeting at Wendy's. Kinda true!
