Thursday, May 6

 Hi parents,

Thank you for all your help with making Job Day a big success! All around I think today was a great way to wrap up our in-person learning, for the next two weeks anyway. It had better just be two weeks.

In the morning, the students had Music class, and then we did a Job Day writing prompt. The students wrote about the job they want to do when they're older, and why.

We watched an Arthur episode about peer pressure, and why you shouldn't do something just because someone dares you to do it. We had a nice class discussion afterwards too. It sounds like many students have been in a similar situation, and understood how difficult it can be to stand up for yourself if friends are telling you to do uncomfortable things.

In the afternoon, we watched the movie "Space Buddies", which is about 4 puppies that somehow get launched into space and rescue a 5th Russian dog who is also in space. It was a big hit in Room 6 (though critics would probably disagree).

Tomorrow we will be transitioning to Online Learning, even though it is Friday. I will be sending out an email reminding everyone how to sign on to Google Classroom - that will be our first challenge. Before next week, I will have a more detailed schedule ready to share. :)

See you in the Google Meets!

Zac
