Martin Luther King, Jr., Break-Up Letters, Book Tasting and More!


Hello Teachers,

I’m experimenting with a new email format. Each edition will feature a post from social media, new resources I’ve created, and a highlighted resource from a guest teacher.

One of my core goals with Tolentino Teaching is to showcase the creativity of teachers from around the world. If you have an idea or resource you’d like to share with hundreds of thousands of educators, I’d love to hear from you.

Hello Teachers, This time of year, the school year can start to feel like a grind. When that happens, I like to shake things up a bit with a game. Check out Classroom Spy.
