WHAT: Online visit with 8th graders at Kennedy Middle School

We did it!

“Thank you so much for donating your time today to talk to my journalism students. It was a great conversation. (Sorry for the delay at the beginning of class!) It’s so important for students to hear from adults about topics they’re interested in. One thing they walked away with from this conversation with is just the variety of professions and things to study that are out there waiting to be studied.

We’ll be sending you a thank you card, but I didn’t want to let too much time pass without making sure you knew how much we appreciated your generosity today. Thanks again!”

– Sarah Case, Language Arts and Social Studies Teacher, Kennedy Middle School

WHERE: ZOOM @ Kennedy Middle School, Eugene, OR 97405 (link coming)

WHEN: Friday, March 10, 2023, 9:00am – 9:50am

From Language Arts and Social Studies Teacher Sarah Case:

“I teach an 8th grade journalism elective class at Kennedy Middle School in Eugene. My students have chosen topics of interest that they’re investigating. A topic of interest to one of my students is understanding more about nostalgia.”

Why does nostalgia affect people?
What goes on in your brain when you feel nostalgia?
Does everyone feel nostalgia?

We’ll meet with Sarah’s 8th grade students by Zoom to consider their questions on nostalgia and our brain! One of our Northwest Noggin volunteers, Grace Taylor, wrote about this topic in 2022:
