We truly are living during unprecedented times: a worldwide pandemic, a hotly contested election, devastating hurricanes and wildfires, a controversial Supreme Court nomination, and continued unrest connected to racial injustice. The daily news does very little to comfort those with anxiety. However, there is history being made and important lessons for your students about U.S. civics and the difficulties Americans are facing. Meanwhile, it is Thanksgiving month, so we must remember to count our blessings.
