This is a WOW slice. So compact yet incredibly complex.
I am going to go check my “to do” list…I am sure something has fallen through the cracks 🙂

Teachers do SO much managing the classroom community and juggling professional responsibilities! Your list format exemplified this perfectly. Don’t forget to “high-five” yourself!
