Thank you to all who advocated for education funds to be released!
School is a safe space for a lot of kids, who have nothing at home. I try to make my 7/8 math classroom in NJ inviting, through my actions and care drawer. Any help to stock the care drawer for the year would be amazing! Thank you! #clearthelist amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…
