teaching tip Welcome to all of you who attended my workshop at NJEA in Atlantic City. It was a pleasure to meet you.

Say "Hello" to the World
lesson plan World Hello Day takes place in November. This day is an opportunity to celebrate world language learning with all of your students. And the celebration does not have to stop with the November celebration. Ask students who speak another language to teach classmates how to say "hello" "peace" or "welcome." This to foster appreciation of world languages and cultures and builds positive self esteem.
