Happy Veteran's Day! Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
Hello Meteor Families!
I know that I said last week that there would not be a Friday Update this week, but I had a few minutes to spare during the conference and I did a quick video. There is no script this week, but there are a couple of links in the email you may want to check out.

Our 6th graders are perspective-shifting wizards! They dove into an excerpt of Walk Two Moons in StudySync and rewrote it through new characters' eyes, nailing tone, relationships, and voice using an EduProtocol. From analyzing texts to creating their own narratives-pure magic!
Friendly reminder: no school tomorrow!
