Another week gone. Teaching highlight: seeing how competent my students have become in writing paragraphs. Now if only they could translate that to writing essays 🤔#elt #edchat
My husband has started a new workout routine in the early morning. Today I decided to follow his lead so there I was at 5:45 🧘🏻♀️
Congratulations everyone!! 🌸
Congratulations everyone!! 🌸
Now the results for #50PreciousWords are in and those for #SpringFlingKidLit are coming, it’s time for another fun ultrashort writing competition. Anyone in the #writingcommunity ? What’s happening?
Gotta love my husband. ‘So I didn’t win anything in that writing competition I entered’ ‘It’s OK, I loved your story’ ‘Did I show it to you then?’ ‘No’ 😂 #50PreciousWords
Took some time to reread the first 20 #50PreciousWords winning entries. Not that it’s of any particular relevance, but liked number 13 best. Thank you for that heartfelt story @mohan_shuba !
Congratulations #50PreciousWords winners!. It was so thrilling to scroll through the list and read the winning stories. No win for me, but I’m really happy to see some people I know/follow receive honorable mentions ☺️
No teaching highlights again this week because of the holidays but I’m hoping to be back at school soon (after being ill) - that’s a highlight in itself #teacherlife #teachertwitter 💪🏻
Looking forward to this. I’m soooo curious to learn which stories have won ☺️
Looking forward to this. I’m soooo curious to learn which stories have won ☺️
Very blessed to be able to teach online now I’m not well (flu/virus), just the total lack of empathy from my students. Is that an #anno2024 thing? #teacherlife #elt #edchat
So excited to have #entered #SpringFlingKidlit for the first time. Loved the idea of writing a Spring related story inspired by a GIF. To read my entry visit @Ciaralovesbooks blog. Thank you Ciara, @KaitlynLeann17 and of course the prize donors for donating their books and time!
Really excited to participate in #springflingkidlit. To those that have any experience with that, what are the best free GIF to HTML converters?
Life as a teacher isn’t always easy, but here I am grading on a balcony in the Spring Sun. There’s something to be said for that #teacherlife
It’s terribly last minute to enter a pitch event that I have just learned about, but why not 😀
Eager to turn that negative comment about foreigners into something positive, I submitted 4 queries for my literary fiction novel In the City, which is about #expatlife #amquerying #WritingCommmunity And now it’s time for tea.
When one of your students tells you to your foreign face that they don’t like seeing foreigners in their country

⚽ If you're learning English AND love football, check out the @PremierSkills English podcast. In the latest episode, hear about Liverpool and Everton in the Merseyside derby and a record result for Arsenal versus Chelsea: bit.ly/4dfasxn #PremierSkills
I've learned that whenever I need to feel inspired, all I have to do is watch others do what they do best - whether it's #writing, singing, making a sale, being a parent, or something in between. It's amazing what people can do.
A parent at school has lent me his copy of @neilhimself's The Sandman after we chatted about graphic novels on the playground. What a kind gesture!
@angietange This is just the sort of thing I hoped would happen! Maybe the word "shilly-shally" is one of those terms that works like the scent of fresh-baked cookies or lemon-scented furniture polish, bringing childhood memories flooding back. 🥰
Exciting news from The Balloon indeed! I’m a bit late to the posting party, but my name is amongst this list of very fine poets and I feel very humbled. (That is not a reference to @JonathanHumble, though I rather like the idea that a poet up on the DB has been “humbled”.)
Exciting News From The Balloon dirigibleballoon.org/poem/Exciting-…
Word that’s making me smile today: phantonym. It’s a term for a word that looks as if it means one thing but actually means something different. For example, noisome doesn’t mean loud; it means smelly.
Yaşasın #23Nisan! 🎈🎉 🇹🇷 Neşeniz sönmesin, aydınlığınız bol olsun çocuklar.
Ulusal egemenliğimizin bayramı kutlu olsun. Çocuklarımızın bayramı kutlu olsun. Atatürk’ün armağanı 23 Nisan kutlu, mutlu, umutlu olsun. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
First time trying bitterballen, I’m going to like it, right? 🤔
@in_geving There's a modern word, lolsob (a portmanteau of laugh out loud and sob) for the simultaneous impulse to both laugh and cry, but I suspect that's not quite what you mean. If there isn't a word for it, there should be!
Expression that’s making me smile today: have some bread with that. If someone says this to you in Denmark, they’re telling you to take a deep breath and calm down.
Word that’s making me smile today: earth-walker. It’s an Anglo-Saxon term for a traveller.
@Katie_Dozier Not mine. It's perfect.
Cumhuriyetimizin kurucusu Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün geleceğimizin teminatı olan çocuklara armağan ettiği 23 Nisan Ulusal Egemenlik ve Çocuk Bayramını kutluyor, tüm dünya çocuklarına barış ve esenlik diliyoruz🎈🇹🇷 #Yaşasın23Nisan
