In recent history, there has been a move away from celebrating Columbus as a hero and, instead, celebrating Indigenous communities and their resiliency in the face of violence by European explorers. For many Italian Americans, the switch is difficult as they see Columbus Day as a day to celebrate Italian heritage and their contributions to the United States. But truly, in both cases, it's about people, not a person. So on Oct. 12, let's remember the contributions of all people that make up our great nation.
At the faculty meeting on Monday, we will continue the work on Domain A. After a brief 5-10 min. business meeting, you will work in your groups on your specific standards.
Thankfully, we have hired another substitute teacher. We have 4 teachers out on Thursday, so please don't anyone get sick this week! I will be out on Friday so no one can be sick then either :)
Have a great week!
