Teacher friends. In unity. ????????????♀️ Edit: Dear Everyone... I must be honest, I thought only my Mom would watch this. Clearly we need a bit of ridiculous, some joy, and perhaps a chuckle right now. Thank you for your lovely comments - I'm so glad you've enjoyed and are sharing! We've got this. May we be back with our students soon.
