Thursday/Friday Attendance Message/Response
Hi Everyone! :)
I just wanted to say really quickly that this has been a very challenging year and we made it through (school wise), together. Zooming this entire year and some of last year was not easy. I really appreciate each and every one of you.
I think we all learned a lot this year. In this last question, I'm going to ask you to share something that worked for you in science class this year and something that didn't. I really hope we don't ever have to conduct school like this again. Just in case, I'm asking for your feedback in this way.
I hope you all have a enjoyable and restful summer. Best wishes regarding all of your futures!
Take great care,
Ms. Stowers
