@PeggyAshbrook @PeggyAshbrook I brought many 5 gallon buckets with a lid so no water spilled. My saltwater fish and it’s tank were safe at home:-)

[Akeyo Garcia, NBCT @garciaakeyo]

Yesterday I was able to go to my classroom and bring home the worm bin, fish tank, and some materials. I watered our garden beds but hope for some rain for the next few weeks.

Already miss being in my room and seeing my students!
