New Link for Learning/Sharing Sessions and Good News Stories


As a precaution against Zoombombing, OPI is changing the links teachers should use to join in with their Learning and Sharing Sessions.

Here are the links for this week's sessions, including the 6-12 social studies session (Tuesday, April 7, 2:00 p.m.) led by Power teacher Merrick Parnell, Bonner teacher Dylan Huisken, and me.

Good News


Last week, teachers at the virtual gathering mentioned that they were looking for good news stories to share with students. That reminded me of the old Mister Rogers quote: "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping."

Here are three stories of Montanans helping:

"Montana Masks Pop Up All Over the World," Helena Independent Record, March 31, 2020

"Hutterite Colony Makes Hundreds of Masks," KXLH Helena, April 3, 2020

"Helena Food Share Receiving Hogs from Elk Creek Colony," KTVH, April 3, 2020 

(Sorry to be so Helena-centric! These are stories I've been seeing, but I bet there are others from your area too.)
