Today in class: 

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to check in and say hello and that I am thinking about you. Things have changed since we last spoke and the new message I received is that you are NOT REQUIRED to complete school work between now and March 29th. However, I am allowed to provide optional materials such as the quick video clip that is pasted below. I also put a gofomative together named March 16-27 with a question for each day until March 27th. It's not really a question (although it looks like an essay question), but rather a place for you to write me a note with any questions or comments. This is not a requirement. I'll do my best to answer what I can on the blog spot.

Take care and I'll be in touch (please be kind and helpful to those that are taking care of you),

Mr. Fisher
