Thank you to all of my students for a wonderful year! I can't believe that this year has come to an end, it has been full of craziness but we made it through!
When we started, I was excited to meet new students, get to know you and learn with you. We met some new students and friends were made easily and quickly. I felt that this group really worked well with each other and pushed each other to try new things, work hard to conquer challenges and have fun at the same time. I think my favourite day was the snow day that we did not have a snowball fight!!! I remember like it was yesterday, it was such a beautiful day and we decided to go up to the top of the hill and respected everyone's decision to play or not to play. It was SO MUCH FUN!!!!
Another thing that I loved was everyone's excitement for DPA, we went outside often and learned different activities- scarf tag, 4 square, wall ball, walks to the pond and to the trail to learn about trees. Then came March, who would have expected that we would not see eachother for the rest of the year! I personally have found it very challenging to keep you all engaged, create fun assignments, keep up with the other grade 6 classes and keep you all from getting overwhelmed. Because I am honest with you, I will tell you that I was overwhelmed, I cried a lot and still cry a lot... You have all done so well, even if you couldn't continue and learned "school" in non-traditional ways, I am proud of you!!! It takes a really strong person to listen to their inner voice and walk away when they need to. For those of you that hung on to the end- thank you for travelling on that journey with me and giving me feedback when things weren't working! I am not concerned if you missed some of your assignments, the amount of skills and things that you have learned these past 3 months would have never been possible without Covid-19 shutting the world down. From sewing, to cooking, to playing with your siblings, practicing musical instruments and creating relationships that have been missing because everyone is "too busy"! You have all grown, matured and are now ready for grade 7!
Have a wonderful summer, take care of yourself and your family, take a break from screens, and social media and have fun! There will probably never be another summer like this, so instead of being bored and frustrated, make the most out of it and have fun.
I miss you all so much, what ever happens in September, we'll face it then!
Have a wonderful day, get outside and be active!! Happy Summer!!!! Mrs. Lummiss😥😂🙋♀️
