Welcome back from Spring Break. A reminder that school will start at 7:40 and end at 3:25 until Friday May 2. We will continue watching the news and focusing on sharing events with each other. We will also start back up with some map skills each week and focus on themes like education, healthcare, politics, crime, the environment and more. I hope to continue bringing in guest speakers, but it may be difficult with the schedule changes for the next few weeks. I will keep you posted as I learn if more can come and speak.
