#222, Valedictory

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.

BP // HOMEWORK DOG EAT YUMMY // Sprinkled Potatoes // CAPS LOCK MODE // Noun. Meown. Meow. // intriguing light switch // *sniff sniff // bug // ahem // John Pasta // trash bombs // popcorn movie girl // jihwabb // Jay dancing // typewriter computer // SO // Yes I get it sir! // this class is very animoo // awoooooo

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.

To complete this Journal response, address the following:

  1. Give your valedictory (farewell) words.

    • The response should be 100+ words.

  2. Comment on a peer’s response.
