There is a link on Google Classroom for Current Events 36-40 but you are watching "Explained" instead. Due  Thursday May 14th

 

2. There is a new category called INTERACTIVES, please check them out. Complete 1 or 2 of the INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES.  They are fun to do. You can do them alone or with a family member or friend.
