I am so excited to see so many of you working through your CERERC and assessment. Don’t forget that these are due by the end of the week.
If you need a break from your school work and want to check out something cool, try the link below! It is a virtual tour of the “Secret Annex,” or the attic Anne Frank and her family were hiding in. You can explore each room and see where they lived.
Let me know what you think, if you get to take the tour!
