Who would have thought that 2020 would be like this?
If you need some additional support, please feel free to get in touch with me or check out the resources below. I will continue to add to these as needs rise in schools.
I have set up a free Teachable Site where I am adding all my videos that I have made based on themes needed by teachers.
