An educational resource I made for respecting ethnic names. I thought I’d create a shareable resource so that it can help people and empower.

It’s hard for me to say that Serbian is my primary language anymore. Even though it was my first language, English has become the language I use most often. Though Serbian continues to be my heritage language. I feel fortunate that I still have it. ❤️

Cross-linguistic connections #Spanish and English. Once students are comfortable with cognates, you can enrich vocabulary even more! #duallangchat

“They tried to bury us. They didn't know we were seeds.” ~ Dinos Christianopoulos #TruthAndReconciliationDay2022

The mind can be convinced, but the heart must be won.

Our office and schools are closed to honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The day emphasizes the ongoing need for reconciliation, and building & strengthening relationships between Indigenous & non-Indigenous people. #NDTR

English learners need instruction that is developmentally appropriate. Yes, survival skills, colors, letters & numbers are important but we can teach them in context of critical & relevant information. #teaching #ESL #ESOL #teachingtips #teachingideas #teachingkids
