ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — In the crazy and confusing world that teeters around him, an eighth grader contemplated the miracle of a bowl of cereal. “He started thinking about how cereal comes to exist, how it requires the farmers to grow the crops that become the grain in the cereal,” said Priscilla Del Aguila, his teacher at eCademyK8, Albuquerque Public Schools’ online magnet school. “He started thinking about who is keeping the world going.” That’s quite a lesson. Eighth-grade students at eCademyK8 worked together online to write thank you letters to essential workers.
