[LTER-education] Schoolyard Book Series in the time of COVID 19

[Caitlin Potter]

One of our grad students is going to do some readings even though we don't
have a CDR Schoolyard Book. And I'm working on some videos, StoryMaps,
activities, etc (not as exciting as a live reading!). I'm excited to share
what the rest of you are up to! REEFside chats sound so great!!
