I had the honor of sharing with Senator Craig Wilcox, the impact of our Mentor Mom Program. This partnership with YFC brings parents into classrooms as valued contributors and creates stronger connections between students, teachers, and parents. @School_D15 @edgar_dlm_gtz

Our Kindergarten and 1st grade teachers put in the hard work this week to buff our BUFs! Thankful for such committed educators working with our little learners. @edgar_dlm_gtz @mchenry
Today at the ITBE conference, Diep was our keynote speaker. She shared part of her incredible journey as an immigrant in this country. I was fortunate enough to have her as a professor at NIU when I was getting my ESL endorsement. She is so inspiring! @ITBE

Some great resources here!
All of these sheets of free resources have been a huge hit, so I put them together in one sheet to make it easier for everyone😀
