good morning, everyone. it is friday! friday! i m so happy to have my long time erica hill with me today. and next week. thank you for getting up super early. great to be with you. a lot going on this friday. let s get started with five things to know for friday, may 26th. the house negotiators are moving closer to avoid a default. it would lift the debt ceiling and cap spending for two years. memorial day weekend kicking off to be a very busy travel summer. aaa expects air travel to be higher than pre-covid levels. airlines face staffing shortages and air traffic control problems. two workers in mar-a-lago moved boxes of papers one day before the fbi visited the former president s home to pick up classified documents last year. the post also reporting that he had classified documents in his office at times and showed them to others. also in texas, lawmakers recommending articles of impeachment against the state s attorney general. they re accusing ken paxon o
doing things they shouldn t have done. others when commit violence or injured people, of course, a different story. i think both what do you mean a different story? they shouldn t be a focus of pardon? i think violent criminals is different very different story than someone who served a lot of time for a less violent crime. i think, you know, we talk about criminal justice reform in this country. some of the laws are walked back. absolutely. they should be reviewed as appropriate and if they re a nonviolent offender that happened to be there or get swept up in the heat of the moment and didn t commit a violent crime, i think they should absolutely be reviewed. i think they re boeth thinking about it in the right way. you think it s a question of, you know, where the priorities
missed out on boeth of them. it s hard to meet the academic one, when you re still right to figure out, how do i stop being a pofourth grader. reporter: it s 1:45 p.m. on a thursday. hi. i m evan. i m ana. nice to meet you. what usually goes on in this room? i teach language arts and english language development, but we also do advisory. today, we re going to do some gratitude and some goal setting for academics, but we re also going to do mindfulness. we are one of the only schools that has somebody that does yoga and plans mindfulness for us. we ll do some breathing and we ll do a little meditation or visualization. let your breath soften. and the connection with their peers, which they ve been missing so much during the pandemic and during remote learning, we want to make sure that we have cushioned it so that we have that 20 minutes within there to real focus on the social and emotional piece.
