My wife sent a letter to @MASchoolsK12 and Commissioner Riley a couple days ago. The @curleyk8 closed due to a COVID outbreak on Tuesday. She wrote it on Wednesday.

Here are some excerpts…

Today, my 2nd grader wrote an outline for an argumentative writing paper about deforestation, using evidence from his reading of The Great Kapok Tree.

His teachers started the day with a community meeting, using socioemotional learning strategies to connect with their students and promote self and social awareness. They transitioned to a lesson about finding the main idea in a text, & later taught geometric math concepts.

Say you have an arrangement with your neighbors to order pizza together every Saturday night. Your family gets 20 slices. The other families split about 10 slices among them. This goes on for years.

Setting aside 20% of seats at first to be assigned citywide on straight rank DOUBLES the disadvantage to students in poverty. Mr. Contompasis is fighting to put that back in, when it was taken out yesterday.
