The communication with the family is vital and supporting the usage of the home language in the classroom to make sure that the EBs feel valued and supported. ]]> 2023-05-02 18:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalinares/ebdqq0e0hx60isb1/wish/2575635949 Caroline, Grace, Kaitlin, Mia, Iris, Carly https://padlet.com/rebeccalinares/ebdqq0e0hx60isb1/wish/2575636110 Language Variation: even within one language there is a lot of different dialects or ways of speaking/communicating. More than one way of saying the same thing
Language acquisition process: Bilingual and monolingual children have very similar language development milestones
Working with EBs and their families: develop reciprocal relationships with families to learn about cultural values and to promote bilingualism at home and cultural relevance in school]]> 2023-05-02 18:41:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalinares/ebdqq0e0hx60isb1/wish/2575636110 Anna, Kaya, Grace https://padlet.com/rebeccalinares/ebdqq0e0hx60isb1/wish/2575636743 -Should have a proper understanding, and not believe in the myths and stereotypes surrounding EB's and SLA learners

-Linguistic subsystems: phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics. Being mindful that these are different across languages and someone learning a language may reflect their home language
- Everyone is unique and processes and acquires language in their own way
-BFLA children meet the same milestones, if not exceed the milestones of monolingual children 
-As educators, we need to appreciate and welcome different cultures and cultural values/practices 
-Knowing the developmental process of language acquisition, and processes such as a silent period and a naming explosion ]]> 2023-05-02 18:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccalinares/ebdqq0e0hx60isb1/wish/2575637177 Katy, Jacqueline, Jordan, Grace, Olivia, Ramey, Chel murphkat000 https://padlet.com/rebeccalinares/ebdqq0e0hx60isb1/wish/2575638762 English is a complex language and not having the expectation for students to be a certain way. In addition dialect is people know what each other is saying but not saying things the same way. Over-Identification happens very often and its important that educators know that. Students may be geetting low test scores not because they don't know how to do the problem, but because they are having a hard time understanding the problem and have opportunities for translanguaging. Knowing your students background
