#210, Dawn
The sun has set on 2020. One of the most tragic years in modern history is behind us and now we look towards a brighter future. Your fifth grade self at PEAI is gone now too—the person you were is no longer who you have to be. This is a fresh start and a chance for you to the best version of yourself.
This virtual space will be home to our community outside of the EH Tower and Room 2, our classroom. Let us work together to build a welcoming, safe environment where we can all express ourselves freely and celebrate diversity of thought.
Every week a new journal entry will be posted by Friday morning. The Journal task is part of the day one homework assignment for the next week. At the end of each entry, there will be a series of questions or prompts that should be addressed. All responses should be a minimum of 100 words, but I encourage you to write more!
For the first journal entry of the Year of the Ox, we will start with the basics. To complete this Journal response, address the following:
Write an introduction of yourself to your PEAI peers. Start to build your online identity.
Leave your real name with your comment. Any comments without real names will be removed.
Comment on a peer's response.
e.g., Hey Zoe! It's [removed]. I did not know that you can play that many sports! And I really didn't know that you can play many instruments! Also I totally get your fear, because speaking in front of people is really hard, and I didn't overcome it yet. But I think you can!!
