Teacher spirit animal: I don’t say or do spirit animals because it’s disrespectful to Indigenous people. Indigenous people have experienced that white people use it to mock them for years. It’s an important part of their culture; not something we should be using for fun.
I am not trying to be mean, I hope you didn’t know about this.
But hey if there was an animal I could be. Like if I could choose an animal I could be, I’d choose a Kaprosuchus! It’s a prehistoric crocodile that had long legs and could run, jump, and gallop!
