After studying the Great Depression of the 1930s in Wynn's US History class, students were curious about our current economic downturn and how it compared to the Depression. They looked closely at certain indicators and came to the conclusion that this COVID-19 shutdown is nowhere near as bad as the Great Depression was --not yet, anyway!
This is a 2 for 1 share. You can read the connections students made and also see an excellent use of Padlet for distance learning. Thank you, Wynn!

Please enjoy this video collage featuring a brief glimpse of a string quartet of Rumi Nguyen, Luci Paczkowski, Vincenzo Calcagno, and Hannah Stone playing Brahms.

What exactly is a Mandala? A mandala is a spiritual symbol in Buddhism and Hinduism. It’s a symbolic representation of the universe with an inner and outer world. The word mandala comes from Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language. Literally mandala means “circle.” The circle is seen as a magical form, without beginning and end, just as the universe is believed to have no end. The Sanskrit word mandala indicates everything that is round or circular. In tantric traditions, it often refers to a sacred space, which can be round or square or any other form. Deities are invited to enter this space by uttering powerful words (mantras). |
