Mrs. Chen-2019-2020 Assignments

As we end the school year, I want this lesson to leave a mark in your hearts. I encourage you to complete the lesson with any family members. There will be slides requiring partner-talk.

With all the chaos going on in our city, our country, and around the world, I would like you to take a moment and reflect about yourself, your own actions, and how they affect people. Hopefully this lesson will leave a message to all of you about empathy and treating people how you want to be treated. Always remember the Golden Rule. Do something amazing!

Always thinking of you,
Mrs. Chen
