24 books read in 2021, and these were my favourites…plus additional notable mention for The Silent Patient which was one I read in the final days of the year and was pretty incredible. What are some must read books for me for 2022? https://t.co/3LEYcsuLaL

Always searching for chill música en español to play in the background while my students are working that doesn't make the classroom feel like a discoteca! One fav is Somos Dos by @bombaestereo Just don't play the video in class! https://t.co/BA68JgPi8d #langchat #bcatml #Spanish

Over the holidays I watched the whole season of Made in Mexico (@MadeInMexico) on @netflix and it was delightful! Picked up some great expressions to use as palabra-del-dias in my classroom + enjoyed the cast of different personalities, worth the watch! https://t.co/Hfex8LVTcD

Our school has very long periods (85 mins) but I feel like part of the success of my Spanish classes is that I switch up activities every 15-20 mins. This resource for brain breaks en Español from @afulks2013 is incredible! https://t.co/SAAOGCStsf

@AyeBarney En serio though, my students ask me to replay your song at least once a day!

To refresh on #'s in #Spanish I showed this números video to my #spanishclass and they have been e-mailing me for the link to rewatch at home it ever since! Definitely worth a share in class as it grabs + holds attention with a great beat https://t.co/J4wQX8jlFr #flteach #espanol

What an artist—it never ceases to amaze me the way this artist finds innovative ways to make clever (+ cheeky) comments on art as investment, society, and consumerism in general. Banksy artwork self-destructs after selling for $1.4M | CBC News https://t.co/nIqmbmiWiN
