Two fourth grade teachers were among those who were killed by a gunman at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday.

It's the latest school shooting in a long list of tragedies that have occurred in the United States and we at NPR would like to hear from teachers of all grades on how you are feeling and coping in the aftermath.
