Putting It All in Perspective
My friend Bill Ivey (I met him through AMLE) teaches at an all-girl boarding school in Massachusetts. His recent reflection, "Of Virtual Classes and Teddy Bears," was just shared on MiddleWeb. And, since social distancing is not easy for many adolescents, there are some ideas here.
Please send Susie Highley any ideas or suggestions of things to be included. You can also access Monday Minutes via this link on our webpage, and you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter. Principals and others: Feel free to forward this newsletter to your staff!
