Happy Monday, my lovelies! I hope you enjoyed the tiny spot of rain and cool weather before it starts to heat up this week. Today, I want you to take care of yourself and handle any business from last week that needs to be taken care of. Please hop onto the class meet up to learn a bit more about the grading policy, we received more information last night that I want to share with you! Check classroom for the link :)

Hello love bugs! Today we are taking our first foray into the wonderful world of Systems thinking and systems maps! Make sure you watch the animated video to get a little taste systems thinking and then watch my video to see how to create a systems map using that thinking! The check in video today is all about grading and the current/proposed policies so please also check that out!

Hello loves! I hope your week is going well. Today, you are creating your own version of a systems map to show how COVID-19 spread and turned into a pandemic. Remember that you need to include at least 10 nodes (either causes or effects) that should show the interrelatedness of each decision. If you are not sure what to do, rewatch the first couple minutes of my video on the document.
