To loosely quote the prophetic P-Diddy, “I thought I told that inquiry don’t stop!” Working w/ @OmahaPubSchool’s social studies educators and @OPS_LBehne to create inquiry design projects was theeee best! I mean look at all this wonderful-ness students are going to receive!
Today, I came home. Home is with the amazing middle school social studies educators of OPS. We collaborated on inquiry projects that are definitely going to have our students engaged and mastering skills. Dopeness on another level was achieved today! @OPS_LBehne

Today is Juneteenth—a day for celebration and remembrance that should be part of our collective knowledge of freedom struggles in this country. May our educators and youth continue the fight to ensure that the promise of freedom is delivered.
