Good morning everyone.  First I would like to commend those that are showing up daily and putting forth the effort.  Nice work! I will be checking in with you all throughout the week again to offer feedback and see how you are making out.  In the meantime, you all have my email should you need anything.  Have a great week you are missedJ

This week’s focus question is: What makes us who we are?  Think about this and keep it in mind as you complete each of your daily tasks. If you find information that relates to your question, remember to include the following:

·       the idea or thought that sparked your interest

·       where you found it
