(Ripp) | An unexpected week but I know that the scholars were in the best of hands with Mr. Eveland. I am excited to be back next week when I am out of quarantine from this second round with COVID. Book clubs kicked off this week and the kids rose to the occasion, we dove into wealth inequality, the minimum wage, and also started our discussion about the American dream.
Deadlines: 6th reading goal due May 13th Read 2 hours + every week Be prepared for discussion Edpuzzle - Minimum Wage due the 20th Edpuzzle - Global Wealth Inequality due the 20th
Questions to ask: How do you like your book so far? How did your first discussion go? What are your thoughts on the minimum wage? What are ideas you have for navigating the global wealth inequity - is it up to us to change it?
