I’d be lying if I didn’t say it takes a lot of time, space, patience, and commitment to ensure that our Makerspace runs properly, which is why I wanted to create something… Read More

This afternoon, I’ll find out if I’ll be hanging this gorgeous print from @cleowade by my classroom door, or on a wall for a Zoom backdrop. I’m a tangled mess of fear and anxiety and confusion, as I know all of you are too.
