Crocadilly ,

Valuable and easily applied info!

I am new to kindergarten and your podcast has been so valuable to me! I look forward to every Tuesday to listen to your newest episode. Your guests and the information that you talk about has been really helpful and applicable, as well as all your instagram and TPT content. I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen to any kindergarten/primary educator.
