Looking Back...
5/21/2020
I packed up our classroom today. As I sorted through the remnants of our time together, it would have been easy to feel a little melancholy about the way our school year ended. However I found myself focusing on the great and wonderful things that we got to experience and accomplish together this year, even with the challenge of distance learning. Our last class meeting of the year started with a brainstorm session of all the great memories the kids have of 2nd grade. We collaborated to make this word cloud to help us remember the great times we've shared this year. Some of these precious memories are held only by our class and won't make sense to everyone. But they are each part of a connection that held our classroom community together even through distance learning.
I ended our last class meeting the same way I've done all year, with a read aloud. I read them the book "I Wish You More" to send them off to a summer filled with adventures and learning, sunshine and laughter hoping that they will continue to know that they are a loved, valued member of a great family that is waiting to welcome them back with open arms in the fall.
