It was a busy week! As the kids would likely tell you, we started the week with "nothing weird happening here!" and ended with something "weird" each day: fire drill, crafting, all sorts of changes! As usual, the Room 20 kids are so wonderful with rolling with any changes to our day (especially when it gives them extra independence).

- **If you feel strongly about your child continuing to wear their mask throughout the day, please do let me know so that I can reinforce your decision with your student. Thank you!
- Just to clarify - I cannot make your student wear their mask, but I can remind them and let you know if they are repeatedly choosing not to wear it.
