\"Ms.<\/a><\/p>\n

My daughter’s English teacher, Gina Calvin, contacted me yesterday. The teachers in our school district have ended up spending their Spring Break adapting lesson plans so they can teach their students virtually this coming week. The same goes for teachers across the country. But Ms. Calvin wanted to do something special with her lesson plans and use it as an opportunity to teach her students how to give back in a meaningful way. Below are the suggestions that she has offered for her students to participate in while they’re quarantined. But Ms. Calvin encourages adults to participate in this challenge, too! Here’s her list:<\/p>\n
