I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of Hallmark Christmas movies and then asked it to write a Hallmark Christmas movie of its own. Here is the first page.

The authors of the book that began my school year every year! My students loved Ish and the message reminded all of us that mistakes are part of learning and growing. 📚@peterhreynolds

Learning with the brilliant Carmen Diaz about Scaffolds and Differentiation for #ELLs! If you weren't able to join us today at #LIESOL @MolloyCollege, you can still benefit from the learning here: docs.google.com/presentation/d…

Heading back to school always reminds me of the book “Ish”. I read it every year on the first day. This year might seem “school-ish”, but when teachers’ hearts are focused on kids and learning, we know we are doing the very best we can. @peterhreynolds

Just when I think I can’t love Brené Brown any more than I already do, she mentions Luke Skywalker in Empire Strikes Back. #serendipity #starwars #daretolead

If you understand but cannot speak a second/heritage language, you are bilingual. Stop putting yourself down for not speaking the language because trust me, you are very much distinct from a monolingual who experiences the world through only one language. #ReceptiveBilinguals
