One of the unique characteristics of PEAI is that classes stay together for a year. Not a school year with summer and winter breaks, but a full 365 days with the same peers and teacher. Working intimately with the same cohort breeds classroom culture. During each three hour block, values, beliefs, attitudes, and practices are gradually, collaboratively constructed and start to define each class. By December, though BM1, BM2, BT1, BT2, and BW1 are categorically sixth grade classes, each is uniquely its own and full of wonderful idiosyncrasies.

Shopping cart. Exclamatory. // I miss chat. // Yerim Cart // All we do in this class is fold stuff // catteroni burgerpants bikepietail class // Teacher why. // Very pro. // Jihoon button // CAPS LOCK MODE // A, ah. Boy, bruh. Cat, meow. Dog, woof. // Kate’s hair // intergalactic // white butt cells // Stekka Puak // money gun // interesting // farmer // doggook // reasonable size // $9.99 //

After December 30, we will no longer be with one another physically. Some of you will continue your academic journey together in seventh grade. For others, your journey at PEAI will soon conclude. Our collective culture and memories, however, extend beyond the walls of Room 2 and throughout time and space.
