"Ever heard the phrase 'Latin is a dead language' and wondered why it's still taught in schools?
As it turns out, Latin is far from dead — it continues to vibrantly shape the way we learn and speak languages across the world! " https://t.co/PtKnqBjJNQ

I wrote a poem called ��Alternate Names for Pelo Malo” bc Black folks deserve to have beautiful words to describe our hair in Spanish.

I was raised among non-Black Mexicans; I was never taught how to refer to Black hair in a positive or neutral way in Spanish. So I made a way!

Once in a while, something happens that you know with every confidence is EXACTLY the right thing for kids.

Tonight is one of those moments.

Huge congratulations to my friend and colleague @dhandyBCPS on his promotion to Executive Director of Equity and Cultural Proficiency. 👊🏼

I created a #BlackHistoryMonth calendar for educational purposes only. I do not own any image or video. Each image is linked to a video presentation/read aloud. Feel free to share with students, teachers, and families. #BlackExcellence https://t.co/U0GCNLD5Ic

Crying at 10AM, everything is fine. I would teach a class of 50 of this child, she makes me so happy and so proud and reminds me of what this is all for. 😭

Thank you Charles Herndon for capturing the magic these 3 women bring to our schools and classrooms across the county. Three Sisters of Spain was a delight to read. Proud to work with them and learn from them! Their story is gratefully our story.
