Happy birthday to our Covid baby, Teddy! Five years has gone by way too fast. Teddy is the best beach walk buddy, and I love her good morning nuzzles (and tolerate her Pyrenees paw wake up call smacks). I’m looking forward to the next five years of adventures with my Teddy bear!

🎉Let me help you ease back into the school year with lessons for everyday of your first week back AND bell ringers for two months!
I don’t go back until the 8th, but I know some of you are back at it sooner. That is why I compiled the New Semester Jumpstart using tried and true New Year’s lessons. It is collaborative, engaging, and sets the tone for a great second semester!
Comment “lesson” and I will you DM you the 🔗 on TpT or you can find the 🔗 in my bio.
