Dear Mr. Miller and fellow Conductors,
I hope you all are safe and healthy. It has been a few days since we all were in Cognitiveunderstandia, I wish for everyone to keep striving in your academics and try to be the best when you get the chance to. I had question whether I should write in my planner about my achievements while Iโm at home addressing the district packet as well. I believe I should try to address the focus tasks but Iโm not so sure so I asked. Keep safe.
Sincerely,
Emily Varghese

Good Morning Conductors,
You must finish your Dancing Classrooms paragraph before addressing any sequence you create. Once completed, you must address your weekly math page to determine if there are areas you need to develop. Throughout this week, you will be responsible for completing one Today in History, one Figurative Language and your Part B sprint. Determine how you will incorporate those elements into your sequence.

Emily Varghese ๐ธ March 6, 2020
Dear Mr. Miller,
Throughout the day I found the explanation about striving harder with more effort and care, as well as, presenting our optimal level beneficial, because it shows me how I should be trying harder, because this year is like a waterfall, going very fast and how everyone in Cognitiveunderstandia should be cherishing these moments because this is something that we probably will never receive later in our academic career. This is why Cognitiveunderstandia should stay as twelve states because like you and Mrs. Halloran said everyone has a voice which can make a difference and I believe those words have great meaning and value because it shows how everyone in Cognitiveunderstandia can change in their paths and sustain their states with care and love. Through everyone in Cognitiveunderstandia utilizing their voices they all can lead in the best way as possible without reminders, everyone just needs a second chance to prove how well they can lead their states. The states in Cognitiveunderstandia should be twelve not ten, eight or less because we all are life- long learner whom bring success through mistakes.
Sincerely,
Emily Varghese

I have seen that if I take the time and effort in every aspect, I will do well.
