Are you a new teacher, or an aspiring new teacher? We’re here to support YOU! We talk about the most common challenges educators face and how to find answers. We'd like to connect with new educators and those who support them.
🦃 Happy Thanksgiving, teachers! 🍂
Gratitude turns what we have into enough.
You ARE enough. What you're doing matters. Take time to celebrate the connections, small victories & learning happening in your classroom.
Wishing you a restful break! 🧡
