Thank you and good luck

What an incredible year it has been. Despite all the craziness, I am so thankful and inspired by the time I have had with my students and the connections I have been lucky enough to make with the families. It may seem strange to say to a group of students that I largely did not get to meet in person, but I will miss you all so much. You have made me grow as a person, challenged me to be better, and I am so thankful for your presence in my life.

I have archived our Google Classroom. Students can still access all of their assignments through their Google Drive, but they will no longer be able to upload to the classroom. I have posted a final video to the classroom featuring the teachers giving their summer fun ideas.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to reach out, connect, and be a part of this crazy experience. I wish you all the best for the summer and beyond. May things be easier from here on out.

Stay safe, be kind, and keep reading!

Last week of school!

Dear room 11,

It's hard to believe we are already at the end of the this wild and crazy school year. Thank you so much for being a part of this experience and special thanks to everyone who came out to the school parade despite the crazy hail that came down and pulverized all the decorations. It really lifted my heart to see your faces.

The assignments for this week have been posted. As this is the last week, we wanted to give you some activities that are low pressure and allow you to express your creativity. Feel free to download the Time Capsule Activity and complete it for yourself.

I will be returning all assignments by Monday, June 29 and then the classroom will be archived on Tuesday, June 30. You will still be able to access your work through your Google Drive but you won't be able to submit or modify any work after that date. As this is the last week, there are no meetings with the follow exceptions:

Wednesday, June 24, 2020 - Reading the last 2 chapters of Harry Potter from 10 am to 11 am.
Friday, June 26, 2020 - Last class meeting to say goodbye to everyone from 10 am to 11 am.

I hope you all have a safe and adventurous summer ahead of you! Please know that even if we never met in the person, I am so grateful to have had you as part of my teaching experience this year and I wish you all the best next year and beyond.

Be safe, stay curious, and keep reading!
