I would like to find out because I have always believed that many of our school's African languages (like Somali, Oromo, Afar, Swahili) are under-served, and perhaps making a connection with the mosque could bring valuable partnerships for our students. I speak some Arabic because of my family history (We are of middle eastern descent, but not Arab) and sometimes help students with their homework they get from the mosque. It gives me a connection with them that other teachers do not have.

The community has come together and donate clothes, backpacks, shoes, school supplies, and more! ]]> 2020-07-30 08:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mathgeek_karen/ci510_wrr3_su20/wish/665700185 mn221 https://padlet.com/mathgeek_karen/ci510_wrr3_su20/wish/665700831 I love when parents come and help out! I usually like parents to come in mid October, after all the rules and procedures are mostly in place. I like taking time to get to know my students and build a community. ]]> 2020-07-30 08:07:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mathgeek_karen/ci510_wrr3_su20/wish/665700831 mn221 https://padlet.com/mathgeek_karen/ci510_wrr3_su20/wish/665701393 I wonder how this would work?
This is something I could act upon ASAP...any suggestions?]]> 2020-07-30 08:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mathgeek_karen/ci510_wrr3_su20/wish/665701393 mn221 https://padlet.com/mathgeek_karen/ci510_wrr3_su20/wish/665701997 I like to use See Saw. This is an app where students can upload their work. They can record themselves, and share their work with their families. I also like to use other apps to enhance students' learning.

However, if contacts within these organization can help build connections to different communities in our school, I think they can be valuable.]]> 2020-07-30 16:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mathgeek_karen/ci510_wrr3_su20/wish/665970446 wmilburn https://padlet.com/mathgeek_karen/ci510_wrr3_su20/wish/669723421 Hi Class, 

I'm not sure if anyone will see this, but I'm interested in starting a book club with folx. I know the upcoming school year will likely increase some of our work demands and have us confront new challenges that may not allow for a ton of extra time, but I think the continued conversation could be worthwhile. I believe engaging with reading and talking about it helps us process information and perhaps makes some the ideas more salient in our memory. The texts can be shorter, too - essays, articles, short stories, and the like. 

Send me an email if you're even remotely interested - wmilburn@pdx.edu]]> 2020-08-05 02:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mathgeek_karen/ci510_wrr3_su20/wish/669723421
