I just played Fotos by Juanes & Nelly Furtado, and I just wondered...What would a remake of that video look or sound like? Cada vez que te llamo por FaceTime no estás. Cada vez que te busco me bloqueas. Es por eso que debo decir que tú sólo en mi Instagram estás

@doriecp I have a Google Voice number for my students that I renamed as Santa Claus in my phone around Christmas time so my own kids could call Santa and leave a voicemail.

Y’all. I just wanna say that it’s really hard to not fall into the trap of punitive grading because the kids are rowdy. It is. And it’s really hard to wipe off the emotional vomit students sometimes spew in order to still care for them. Tomorrow’s a new day.

@GiftedTawk When a student is facing a hard task and they say “I’ll try” I tell them “Do or do not; there is no try.” And they feel so encouraged after that! 😆

As the school year ended, I’m reminding myself I was enough this school year. My teaching was enough, my methods were enough, my materials were enough. It can be easy to have negative self-talk/reflection when looking at others’ tweets, but I know I was the best for my kids. 🧵

I had a student in my last Spanish 1 class ask if he had to have it perfect or if he could mess up because he might not get it right the first time but he’s going to keep trying, and y’all if that just didn’t make my day right there.

Unpopular opinion: I’m having a blast with remote learning. Hear me out. Individualized attention, focus on content, in-the-moment feedback & quicker feedback. Open to using more digital tools in my classes. My dogs and cat occasionally make an appearance.

Perhaps instead of touting that remote learning didn’t work so we need to reopen schools, we should invest in strengthening and improving broadband access for students so they can have a better chance at having a quality remote learning experience.

My oldest child, with fair skin and hazel eyes, asked me to come to his school to talk about Puerto Rico and speak to him in Spanish because his school friends don’t think he’s “Latino enough.” 😔 And that just broke my heart because he’s so proud of his identity!

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but since there are so many resources out there for teachers (and parents), it’s OK if you’re not using everything. Pick something that works well for you rather than feeling like you have to use everything, and have fun with it.

If I had to do it all over again, I would’ve taught my students more vos and less vosotros for they “might encounter”. Outside of living in Spain, I’ve encountered more people in my day-to-day who use vos.
