  2. Hi Jennifer,

    I love these ideas and I will be able to carry many of them forward. Thanks so much for writing such a useful list! I'm curious about "educator's bucket list". What exactly do you mean by this? I'm intrigued by the idea but I'd appreciate some clarification.

    Thanks!

    Adam
