I can’t count the number of times I’m scrolling through Twitter and think, “Man! I wish I would have seen this two weeks ago!” or I’ll be looking at stuff and think, “I was supposed to remember to use that when I taught that stuff!” Here are many of those tweets from this past year. Looking through last year’s post, I realized I need to go back through those for next year too. (Also, after doing this, I can definitely see why Sarah does this weekly rather than yearly. So many awesome ideas being shared!)
One of the routines from this year I'll definitely keep is #howmany https://t.co/zjP0DQZJw6 @Trianglemancsd #unitchat
