I'll get behind you on this if you get behind the fact that most US school districts have some #Pre-K - we shouldn't separate them any more. Time to wake up and smell the pre-K! Millions of #MLLs are currently in pre-K and they'll be coming to your school soon, ready or not! #PreK-12 #EduSky

✨ How do stories support others in deepening their images of a child?
✨ What is 𝘺𝘰𝘢𝘳 story as an educator?
