<p>Hey, Fedi friends. We&#x27;re in the process of winding down operations for the year so we can close our office and give our staff a break for the holidays.</p><p>...but! We&#x27;ll be keeping an eye on our account here, so if you have questions about our resources or need any help, please give us shout. (We know overworked teachers may be doing prep for next year over the holidays and we don&#x27;t want to leave you in the lurch!) We might be a little slower to answer than usual but we are always happy to hear from you and we&#x27;re thrilled if we can connect you with the resources you&#x27;re looking for.</p><p>We hope you get a bit of time to rest and recharge at the end of the year, too. ❤️ </p><p><a href="/tags/education/" rel="tag">#Education</a> <a href="/tags/homeshooling/" rel="tag">#Homeshooling</a> <a href="/tags/edutooters/" rel="tag">#Edutooters</a> <a href="/tags/families/" rel="tag">#Families</a> <a href="/tags/parenting/" rel="tag">#Parenting</a> <a href="/tags/libraries/" rel="tag">#Libraries</a> <a href="/tags/librarians/" rel="tag">#Librarians</a></p>
