     One of the stories that my grandmother would tell me about was when she was a young girl there was a terrible flu.  The year was 1918.  She told me how families needed to quarantine to stay safe.  They even hung signs on their front door that read,  "Quarantine!"  The signs would let others know that someone inside the house was sick and not to enter.  She told me stories of how her family didn't leave the house for weeks and that groceries were delivered to their front door because people were afraid of getting sick.  Sounds a lot like what is happening right now!  Today you will hear the stories of other families who lived through the same quarantine as my grandmother. It was known as the pandemic of 1918. ]]> 2020-11-01 19:50:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccarimoldi/vx8vsdbe40bmvpt0/wish/880403401 rebeccarimoldi https://padlet.com/rebeccarimoldi/vx8vsdbe40bmvpt0/wish/880403402 Essential Question:  Has anything like the coronavirus ever happened before?
