Usually I write about something I’ve seen or heard around school over the course of the last week…or at least something inspires an idea that I end up writing about. This week I wanted to share some of the things I’ve seen and heard around school in a different way. I realize that many of you don’t get the chance to go around and see all the different things happening in our school each day. So, here are a collection of my Tweets from this week that share some of the awesome stuff happening at Academia Cotopaxi this week, starting with snow-capped Pichincha on Monday morning – enjoy!
PS – It may take a minute for all these Tweets to load here…be patient 🙂
