Week 20
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” – Nelson Mandela
We did a fantastic job last week Zooming as a whole class. I am very impressed by everything the students accomplished. I encourage all to keep up the good work.
This week we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We will be watching and discussing the video, Our Friend Martin. Additionally we are completing a Google Classroom assignment that will be graded.
Wednesday, January 20, 2021 is also a historic day in the life of our country. Our new president and the first female vice president will be sworn into office. We will NOT be watching the inauguration in the classroom because of the recent events at the capitol building.
