Twitter and Sunday school
I’m playing with using Twitter as a Sunday school tool. My students are finishing a book (hopefully they’re finishing it…) for our immigration unit: The Jew Store.

She is incredibly proud of her two daughters; Lori, who teaches English at a community college; and Allie, who is a student at Hebrew Union College in LA.
