The best way to create breakout rooms in MS Teams is to create one Team that has channels for each breakout room. The name of the Team should be the name of the event. The name of the breakout rooms can just be listed as Room 1, Room 2, Room 3, Room 4. The reason you want to keep it generic is because throughout the day, you'll have various sessions and you'll just indicate on the agenda which room each session is in.

Summer for me is nonstop reading — in an easy chair, under a tree, lying on the lawn, petting my dog. Nothing distracts me when I’m in the reading zone. What I do worry about is running out of books so this year, I spent the last few months stalking efriends to find out what they recommend to kickstart the 2020-21 school year. And it paid off.
