3/30/2020 - Week 3

Morning Everyone!

I hope you are all well. I miss you all! As usual, if you have any work missing from Week 2, please do it, then email me that you completed it. Also, I'd love to hear how you and your family are doing. If you would like to, please send me an email telling me how things are in your house.

In my house, the newly 5-year-old twins are running about and playing pretend everywhere, taking walks, learning how to ride bikes, and watching lots of TV. My oldest is cleaning her room, drawing, doing her schoolwork, talking with her friends, and practicing her flute.

I'm doing the shopping for my parents in an attempt to keep them safe and learning about teaching online.

Ok, Here's our work for this week:


Essential Question:

How does technology impact our daily lives?

Supporting questions: What are some of the positive effects of technology?

What are some of the negative effects of technology? What are different ways that technology influences the world?
