At the risk of sounding "basic," one of favorite tech tools is Google Slides. I believe in clear expectations and making learning fun, which I try to combine with my daily agenda slides #sanangeloisdtweets22

Thanks to #sanangeloisdtweets22, I am now following Kristin Ellis-Dearborn, Cheri Braden, & SAISD Bilingual!

Decided to use my dog for today's challenge 🙂 #sanangeloisdtweets22 #SAISDReads

Want to build your PLN? I recommend following Central Affairs for all the latest and greatest happenings at CHS, 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 for some motivation and inspiration, and TeacherGoals for some inspiring ideas and comedic relief. #sanangeloisdtweets22

When it's not triple digit temperatures, I love to get outside on the weekends. Two of my favorite places are The Bosque and Middle Concho Park. Weekends also equal family time! #sanangeloisdtweets22

Set Goals Sunday: My biggest goal for these last seven weeks is to choose fun, highly engaging, student-centered lessons and activities to keep my sophomores excited about learning. #sanangeloisdtweets22

7 more weeks of classwork, to be exact! 😂 #sanangeloisdtweets22

Who says STAAR prep has to be boring?! We played "musical essays" last week to practice various persuasive prompts. I love getting students moving and collaborating! #sanangeloisdtweets22

BONUS POST! My students are completing a three-day project in celebration of #NationalPoetryMonth. I couldn't help but to participate because it looks like so much fun! #sanangeloisdtweets22

I decided to go a different direction for today's challenge. This is Saint Mary's Glacier in Idaho Springs, Colorado, where my family and I vacationed last year. 10,400 feet above sea level with a high temperature of 44* today. #sanangeloisdtweets22

This is my third year participating in the annual Twitter challenge. While I enjoy sharing ideas, I think my favorite part is "meeting" new faces and co-workers. #sanangeloisdtweets22

Pretty sure the blackout poetry activity was a favorite among my students.

English 2 students getting a glimpse of what the Jews experienced on the train from Sighet to Birkenau.

I don't typically post personal stories on my Twitter, but this is a special exception. My oldest son placed 2nd in both LD and extemp at regionals for UIL. State, here he comes! #CentralCan #SanAngeloISD

I cannot think of anyone more deserving of SAISD Secondary Teacher of the Year than Sarah Willis. Her passion for education and love for her students is unmatched. She is a true #differencemaker! #CelebrateSAISD (Pic credit: Molly Swets)

When you build relationships with students, it can lead to weird jokes and being gifted a tub of butter for your birthday. #SAISDdifferencemaker

Happy Halloween! #SanAngeloISD #CentralCan #DifferenceMakers

We could ALL use a little more #reading in our lives! 📸Scholastic #elar #learning #education

My sophomores did a "tour of knowledge" last Tuesday to identify ethos, pathos, and logos within Old Major's speech from chapter one of Animal Farm. Super proud of their hard work and how awesome this turned out! #sanangeloisd
