Good Morning wonderful students,

I am starting to get emotional - we have ONLY 2 days left - today and half of tomorrow together!

Remember at 10:00 AM tomorrow I am holding a special ZOOM - you'll find a link to our meeting in my "FAREWELL ANNOUNCEMENT" around 7:30 AM tomorrow!

Make the most of today and tomorrow but remember I am always here for you!

Attached is a link to Buncee for End Of The Year Reflections - however you may choose to post on either of these as well:

You can also choose to add a video reflection to FlipGrid (https://flipgrid.com/53979882) or a reflection on Padlet (https://padlet.com/kgoldin/tx9hqq83jziil4cy)

This week is meant for you to create memories / a reflection/ a positive ending to this year for yourself!

Take your time and enjoy it!! I can't wait to see all the memory books!!! : )
So just attach the Memory Book when you are done with it here - by tomorrow !!

Make sure to save it yourself - to go back to in the future <3

Good Morning Scientists,
Sadly - our time together is ticking away -
1- Today continue working on your Memory Book- if you have completed it that's great! I look forward to reading them soon! Make sure you take the time to save them for your own memories!!

---Always reach out to me if you need anything !!

See you all "virtually" around! *high five*

There will be other live events that week that I am hosting... this is a viewing of Princess & The Frog ---
Come spend time with us!

Good Morning Lovely People,

** If you scheduled a visit on zoom or in person - please show up - it is a waste of my time if I wait and you have not been responsible enough to remember that we have one**
3 days left (including today) of quick virtual tours !!!
Next week's schedule - I'll announce on Friday - plenty of LIVE activities as well!

Miss you all so much!

Enjoy today's virtual field trip!

Please continue adding posts to the Virtual Tours Padlet -

***
All in-person socially distant visits have been cancelled for today -You can try to reschedule for the last week of school- I am still making my Friday ones -- If you do not reschedule I can always send you a zoom link instead of the in person visit (for those of you who have it today)
If you have requested a Zoom meeting visit - you are expected to be there on- time - I will only wait 2-3 minutes after the scheduled time for you!!!

Zoom Class Meetings - I am trying to plan out next week & with all the individual zoom meetings its harder to make one!! However, we will have more of them coming up - I love seeing all of you who join! Try your best especially with only 9 (school days) left!

Dates & Times are still available for individual meetings (you can do zoom during the school day or a socially distant concert after school in person) : *subject to change (link attached)

Just post readit and submit as always!

All the links are attached : )

***All grades are now doing virtual tours - the 6th grade is doing the same virtual tours- I decided for you all to use Padlet - so you can interact with one another ***

1. Watch the Intro Video
2. Explore for 5 minutes
3. Post your thoughts on my 6th Grade Padlet

Enjoy!!!!

Just write Readit after you have fully read this announcement :

*I cannot believe we have 2 weeks left together - and I do feel lucky I had such wonderful students this year!*

*I will host a few zoom sessions this week - and next week *

Remember there will be an awards / farewell ceremony on June 25th 2pm : )

Also, there will be a special ZOOM sleepover party - we will be watching Princess & The Frog ( Believe it or not it can be fun as well as educational) I hope you will join me !!!
***Did I mention I love Disney?***

There will be other activities in store for you all - to create memories and some kind of closure for the 6th Grade!

Although this virus might have robbed you of a normal "ending" to the 6th Grade- I'll make sure you remember this year in a positive way!

*sending positive vibes your way* *air hugs* *high fives*

Hi wonderful students,

Here is your check in for today!

1) You can join the 5 minute fiesta - at 12pm (You will see the link on your grade level google classroom)

2) If you aren't able to make the 5 minute fiesta - write me a suggestion for activities for the last week of school. I plan on it being a reflection week- full of sharing memories etc. - after you have done so - click "mark as done" , "turn in", or "submit" and have a good weekend!!!!!

Let's see what you've learned in 6th grade with me!

What you get on this will not matter at all 😃 this is for your own benefit! Whatever you get wrong - you can study up on in the summer to be ready for 7th Grade!

This is your "last" serious assignment, tomorrow is a check in- next week virtual tours- and last week I have some fun activities. As long as you show up daily your average will not drop :]

Miss you all-
None of these are required! Once you read - just submit with the code readit2020 --- [so I can catch those that skip through announcements]

Today is Clerical Day for Teachers - so I'll be here but I may not answer questions.

After today, we will finish up weather & climate!

1. I will start socially distance visiting students next week - you will get an email from me or some form of communication with parents- I was going to do that today but we have a threat of thunderstorms!
2. We will finish up Weather / Climate next week pretty much!
3. Then I think we will have virtual trips as a science department [I dont think I'll be doing my own thing so bare with me]
4. Last week will be full of fun activities!
We will share memories and reflections!!

Please note :
When I was in school- I'd "shut down" in June - nothing mattered but the end of the school year! Please do not think that way- this is your chance to make a powerful/collaborative impact on your learning -- I promise I'll make the rest of our time together fun as possible just like I would in class!


For today - just answer the question and dont forget to try your best to join the 5 minute fiesta. If there is a meeting I'll post it as well, we will have a lot of live activities in the coming weeks.
