March classroom lessons were on career awareness and exploration. If students would like to explore career Ideas they can visit this site https://www.vaview.vt.edu/ for lots of fun games and information about many careers. I was fortunate to teach a few lessons using this site prior to our school closing and the students enjoyed many aspects of this learning.
