The pandemic restrictions quickly shifted Mason and Walker’s classroom settings. When they left school on Friday, they brought home quite a few of their books and their computers. This is the pile of books I found this morning when I walked upstairs to exercise. Mason has claimed the bonus room upstairs as his classroom. Mason’s […]
