Our last Holocaust Zoom class is this Sunday morning, May 3 2020 at 10:45 AM. Your child will need a computer with a built in camera and mike or a headset. You can also join with a smart phone, but it might be difficult to see any text on the phone.
Please confirm that your child will be joining us. Note - for security reasons we use the waiting room. I discovered that I have issues seeing the waiting room after class starts when I'm sharing my screen. If your child is in the waiting room for more than 5 minutes after class starts, please text me at 508-864-8868.
This lesson has a lot of readings. Each child will read 2 of these readings during class and present their summary and analysis to their classmates. It is critical that these be either printed out ahead of time or available on another device, like an iPad or a kindle.
Activity 1 below needs to be completed before class begins Sunday morning.
Please contact me if you have any questions and again, please let me know if your child will be participating. If you would like me to send this email directly to your child, please send me an email address.

Your children did the following assignment in class - however, we never reviewed it and it is important for understanding Lesson 12.
