@alicekeeler.com has an extension that let's you reuse posts from all old GC classes. It is a huge time saver. It also exports every GC post to a Google Sheet, which might make finding that activity easier.

When I was VERY young (under 5), my grandma Elsa explained to me that her sister went away to school. She struggled to articulate what she meant to convey. But in retrospect, either relatives went & got her back, or it was maybe more like a day school & they followed & retrieved her one day.
My grandma Emma went to Flandreau Indian School, where she was beaten for speaking Anishinaabemowin, her first language. She wasn’t allowed to go home for years at a time. Before she left us, she would scream and cry while she slept, even in her 90s.
