Use your voice. If you need to, take a breathe. When (if) you're ready, jump back in. In this fight we hold each other up as we make something beautiful--together. We are stronger, louder, more persistent, more sustainable when we work together.

More Climate Education going on in my classroom! This is my little act of defiance. I will never stop teaching about CC for as long as I am an educator. Today, we analyzed ice cores, tree rings, and historical records. We discussed how clinate science is evidence based! #Edusky #EarthSci #CC
