Today, 12 fourth grade students, Will, Alex, Oliver, Anthony, Ben, Matt, Jake, Colin, Sophia, Molly, Owen and Davis completed their work from before school became remote by debating via Zoom! These students paired up to prepare for one topic: either whether Zoos, or Homework or School Uniforms - are helpful or harmful? The debate via Zoom was full of complete, clear and convincing arguments on both sides. Their teachers and I were impressed with the research and writing work that students put in to prepare, and the way they debated today, with feeling, passion and facts! Congratulations to these debaters - We believe these students will have many more opportunities to use and practice the important skills they all demonstrated.
