[CASL-L] Fwd: 🍎🏫Educator Alexander's August Newsletter🍎🏫

[Jane Martellino]

Greetings from Texas!
We are back to school in Texas for teacher days and I wanted to share with
you a webinar I will be providing for Dr. Alexander this Saturday.  You
don't have to attend live.  Just register to get the link.  I started
following her during Covid days and felt it was time to give back.
Hope you all enjoy the last of your summer vacation.
Jane
