2 | FROM DEB: In the US, a tremendous amount of teachers don't get the funding they need to set their classrooms up for success. Most will end up paying out of their own pockets to buy educational materials, which feels all wrong and makes me sad. Many will make wishlists to ask for helping purchasing what they cannot. I asked teachers to send me theirs so I could share some because I know how good it feels to be able to buy kids crayons and books. Help out if you feel you're able -- you will unquestionably make a teacher's (and their students) day. | ||

5 | Kindergarten play! We are slowly realizing how our incoming students have been impacted by COVID. 4, 5, and 6 year olds are still learning how to play, communicate, and manage their big feelings. Skills they weren’t able to build being home, not having interactions with other children and not able to interact with the world around them. I’m a kindergarten teacher who is working hard to close that gap for my students and give them a great foundation for the future! | Michigan | |
