Pandemic check-in!
Back for the new year... it's 2021! We are a doing these from time to time this school year-- a "temperature check" from our 8th graders on how everything is going in our COVID era of learning and living.

This week's hosts, Naomi and Zoie interview classmates MeShauna and Tiffany and all four 8th graders have a conversation to recap all of the events of 2020 before looking ahead to 2021.

Specifics include worldwide catastrophes and political events like wildfires, celebrity deaths, Black Lives Matter, murder hornets, Trump & Biden election, storming of the Capitol building, remote learning, hybrid approach, vaccine possibilities, and more.
