for our MOM: Feel each one of your toes on the floor.

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Why Can't We Be Friends?" by War; "You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor]

I remember how I made friends when I was a kid. It was easy. My two best friends became my best friends when one of us said, "Hey! Wanna be friends?" As we get older, though, it seems more complicated to make and keep friends. Why should this be so? How do you make friends?

[NOTE: Every August - every time I begin working with a new group of students - I host an icebreaker that is designed to help everyone get to know each other. During yesterday's breakout rooms, I realized that this group of students just started working together, and in my frenzy to get everything ready to launch the Open-Source Learning Academy, it didn't even occur to me that you might not know each other. Just like a sports team, or a military squad, this group will always share a remembered story: We launched the Open-Source Learning Academy during the 2020-21 Coronavirus Pandemic. Time to get to know each other.]

4. The right tools for the job
5. A riddle from Gitzel

DELIVERABLES:
1. Happy Friday! Please post your journals.
2. Think about the story you are about to tell. What are the best ways to tell that story? Start by adding media to the work you're already doing. Take a video of one exercise you do, and add it to your Physical Fitness page to demonstrate your form. Add at least FIVE total enrichments (links, images, video, animation, etc) to the post that's due on Sunday.
