Let's share our stories of Sheltering in Place. I'm going to create a PadLet for you to share.
While we're all at home, and Zooming and Google Hanging; it's a great time to interview each other and our family and friends and add to our collective histories. You can publish a print book, an online journal, make a special video gift for your family (Grandparent's Day; Veteran's Day; Father's Day; International Women's Day, birthdays, etc), or however else you think your family and friends would like to learn more about each other.
