In Class

  1. News Hour: Read the “King Richard I’s Heart Held DaisiesNews for You article and completed the Teacher’s Guide exercise. We then had a fun discussion about what each student would like to have done to their bodies after they die: ranged from cremation to donating the organs to others.
