A2 I like to share this photo from New York City department of education offices #ELLCHAT https://t.co/yJDRQyzUhA

HSeslteacher Aug 15 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: Signs in native languages (e.g. "Office" or "read" in 20+ languages) are one way. I've seen flags & world maps, too. #ELLChat

danielscib Aug 15 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@ValentinaESL you can also use Google My Maps to "pin" student home countries & update that as new students arrive year after year #ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2 If a school’s policy says “we celebrate diversity” do they make that visible from the front entrance to the classrooms? #ELLCHAT

ValentinaESL Aug 15 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2 displays of S decorated dolls that represent their culture #ELLCHAT

HSeslteacher Aug 15 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A2: Unique way I've heard of is clocks from around the world showing different times where ELLs are from. #ELLChat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A2 maps and displays also help make it clear that each person (student/staff/family) has unique value #ELLCHAT

judiehaynes - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:24 PM EDT

My school always had a display welcoming people from diverse backgrounds. But I had to suggest it. #ELLCHAT https://t.co/pVVzCJNJfo

A2 If a school’s policy says “we celebrate diversity” do they make that visible from the front entrance to the classrooms? #ELLCHAT

judiehaynes - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@ValentinaESL Sorry Karen was late starting. I can only stay for a short time. #ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:26 PM EDT

And now Question 3 for #ELLCHAT 3) What materials do you consider essential to have in the classroom for ELLs at the start of school?

judiehaynes - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3) Books in L1, translators (if applicable )signs around the room in different languages. #ELLCHAT

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3 Do you think it is critical to have books in the language of each student in a classroom? #ELLCHAT

judiehaynes - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Love this! #ELLCHAT https://t.co/qcj1YKysyZ

ValentinaESL Aug 15 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3 in K-1 signs in L1 of e/ss saying welcome, books songs in their L1 representing their culture tips for parents in L1& L2 #ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3 I’m on a new crusade about multilingual labels: Don’t post them if you don’t really talk about them! https://t.co/JE8BdhayY8 #ELLCHAT

HSeslteacher Aug 15 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3: Books in various languages is critical resource for classroom. Picture dictionaries like Oxford's is another item I used. #ELLChat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3 I agree with @eslmonica to have music in student’s languages - specially in beginning: shows you intend to really connect! #ELLCHAT

ValentinaESL Aug 15 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3 iPads are extremely helpful and handy #ELLCHAT

eslmonica Aug 15 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@KarenNemethEdM labels w/visuals in L1 & L2 even if in K they don't read it validates who they are #ellchat

HSeslteacher Aug 15 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3: Another item for secondary is bell schedule & major rules of school. #ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A3 agree - tablets or computers with internet access for translations and info about different cultures #ELLCHAT https://t.co/AM3TDNaeNL

ValentinaESL Aug 15 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3 iPads are extremely helpful and handy #ELLCHAT

ValentinaESL Aug 15 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A3 routines! ELLs need routines. They lower the affective filter #ELLCHAT

eslmonica Aug 15 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@KarenNemethEdM another tip is to send parents a welcome note in theiir language even if not perfect - it shows you care to connect #ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A3 Did you know the google translate app on iPhone or iPad uses camera - hold it over page of English and view translation! #ELLCHAT

HSeslteacher Aug 15 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@ValentinaESL Yes, tech is great. Not only for translation but visuals, reference sites, etc. #ELLChat

esljaana Aug 15 @ 9:35 PM EDT

#ELLChat Books, Books in many different level on many topics. Hopefully as diverse as you can. Jaana from MI

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@HSeslteacher @ValentinaESL A3 But I do worry when tchrs ask for free apps to just keep their ELLs busy so they can do other stuff #ELLCHAT

judiehaynes - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A3) Post because it shows students' language is important. Even young students recognize their language. #ELLCHAT https://t.co/YvF1178Xtt

MrsYanong Aug 15 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A3- really hunt down multilingual books that you can tie to content or feature. Bilingual books collecting dust are tragic #ELLCHAT

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A3 - great message @esljaana I add: differnt levels of same topic grouped together, not grouped by ability #ELLCHAT https://t.co/FBH2YykWs8

@judiehaynes great book to have at circle time for k & as an intro in primary grades @ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@MrsYanong A3 And if you can’t find them, translate key words in book and put on stickies in the book to facilitate connection. #ELLCHAT

judiehaynes - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A3 - I was just reading how important it is for teachers to establish rules and procedures from the 1st day.#ELLCHAT https://t.co/3pyNlWWes7

A3 How about these multilingual alphabet posters from @LoveYourLingo https://t.co/QdcOuBNAaL #ELLCHAT

esljaana Aug 15 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@judiehaynes A3 I struggle with that as I also want to establish that we are a class that reads right from the beginning! #ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@judiehaynes Just look for googletranslate app on app store. #ELLCHAT

judiehaynes - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A3 - It did say that academics should be started on 1st day instead of traditional 1st day activities. #ELLCHAT https://t.co/FzaF6V9k2q

esljaana Aug 15 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@judiehaynes A3 I struggle with that as I also want to establish that we are a class that reads right from the beginning! #ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Q 4) How do you plan content and materials for displays for diverse classrooms? #ELLCHAT - ex: does your curriculum provide any?

esljaana Aug 15 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A3 I am planning to read and write with all my students on the first day along with some fun activities. #ellchat

eslmonica Aug 15 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@esljaana @judiehaynes for upper grades can ask them to bring favorite book in L1 to share in an academic book chat from the start #ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A4 Do you use this as avenue for family engagement - asking them to bring artifacts, photos, favorite stories and music from home? #ELLCHAT

A4 only books we buy ourselves I make copies of different alphabets for e/ss & flags & have them displayed inside & outside #ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Aug 15 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A4 When you welcome diverse students, maybe it’s better to focus less on cute and more on relatable boards and doors? #ELLCHAT

ValentinaESL Aug 15 @ 9:53 PM EDT

When S feel that their differences are valued in the classroom, learning soars! #ELLCHAT

ShadSalem Aug 15 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@KarenNemethEdM I like to display important info Ss are using in the current time. I like to call them "revolving anchor charts" #ellchat
