Everyone is progressing so well! We finished our first unit in Language Arts and students did well. We learned so much about the Indigenous people, Kalapuya, of our region. Students then connected short stories to their understanding of what it means to be a global citizen. Every student participated in a class discussion and shared powerful ideas.
