Michael's Class - Daily Distance Learning

I miss you all!!! Being apart from our incredible core class community for such an uncertain amount of time is difficult beyond words. I am thinking of you all as individuals and as a group. As Mo Phillips has been saying, "Together Apart!"

Above all else, be good to yourselves and your families and work to support your physical and mental health.

Here is a link to your daily distance learning assignment...

 Michael’s Class - Daily Distance Learning

Work with your families to see what makes most sense for you all. You are encouraged to share your work with me.

You will also find other support resources on the side of this blog where I normally keep our field study calendar.

Take care, take care, take care!!!
