Excited for the first day of the #12daysoftweets and dreaming of a Red Ryder BB Gun and all the exciting tweets to come! #ASMrocks #ASMTech

Day 2 of the #12daysoftweets Todd Reichlmayr get in the game! You have nothing else happening at the moment, right!? 🤔 #ASMMUN #ASMrocks #ASMTech

I'm behind on the #12daysoftweets! Day 3: I use NYT Learning Network weekly for What's Going on in this Picture? Day 4: Follow Dr. Andrea Honigsfeld! She has amazing ideas to help #ELLS succeed Day 5: My favorite professional site is Twitter for inspiration! #asmtech #asmrocks

Day 6 of the #12daysoftweets: Free reading time has been a special time in my classroom this year. I always hear, "can we have more time to read?!" Love it! #ASMrocks #ASMtech

Day 7 of the #12daysoftweets. I'd like to give a shoutout to @dogearredpages for helping to foster both the love of reading and the library this year! It's been so fun to watch 📚 #asmtech #asmrocks ASMLibrary

Finally posting on the right day for the #12daysoftweets! Technically this isn't an "item" but a reading corner would be super fun and cozy! Switching rooms doesn't make it easy but maybe someday #asmtech #asmrocks

Day 9 of the #12daysoftweets find this artist I know on Instagram blessthemessy. I love this quote because it shows that not everyone learns the same way, especially #ELLs #asmrocks #asmtech

Day 10 of the #12daysoftweets my favorite part of the school is any place that shows our amazing multilingual community! #asmrocks #asmtech #multilingualism

A (late) penultimate tweet for the #12daysoftweets. A professional goal I have, and always have, is to bring more strategies to teachers through collaboration. There is never enough time but there are many ways to do this! #asmtech #asmrocks

Super inspiring start to the day! Thanks Annaleigh Kress!! #mitav

We don't have to fly experts in for professional learning. The expertise is already in our schools. We just have to collaborate with our colleagues. #esl #eal #ell #eld #esol #tesol #ellchat
