Day 2 of #englishmythorfact - here’s a question for you: Do some English words exist only in plural? 🧐 Swipe for the answer ➡️———-During the month of March, I’m going to share something about English (hopefully everyday). Welcome to English, Myth or Fact? #englishmythorfact As native speakers of English, we learned English on “auto-pilot.” We don’t know why we do the things we do - we just absorbed this language through living and we never analyzed it. Well, now we’re going to get meta! Many of us don’t fully understand the grammar, linguistics, and history behind our language. Let’s learn and unlearn what we did and didn’t know about English - and hopefully remove our biases in the process, too.To that end, I’m developing a course that will launch this spring called “English Grammar Workshop.” I’m probably 40% done with the course and the guidebook is already 30 pages long. English Grammar Workshop is going to help you build that grammatical and linguistic knowledge that many of us never knew before so that we can be confident in our native language and get rid of any biases and misinformation we may have held on to in the past. Let’s learn all about our curious, quirky, and imperfect native language English!Lastly: this entire series will be turned into a free PDF for you to download, keep, and share (after March)! ...

I support Black History being taught year round! I’ve liked what my kids are doing in class this month and I sat in on a lesson my second grader was learning all about Duke Ellington 🎼 My second grader likes jazz (my husband likes jazz so it has rubbed off) and was engaged. After it was over, I mentioned to my son that Duke Ellington faced racism and discrimination during his lifetime. He was shocked! The lesson was very positive about Mr Ellington’s life, so it didn’t go any deeper into racism. I’m not an expert but I think touching on racism would have been a good idea. At least we talked about it here at home. Curious about your thoughts? #Repost @coilyandcute ・・・I believe we should celebrate #blackhistory everyday but I’m always happy to make art that celebrates #blackhistorymonth 🤎 ... See MoreSee Less
