#230, Denouement
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, and BT2 are categorically sixth grade classes, each is uniquely its own and full of wonderful idiosyncrasies.
Cake on Christmas! // It’s a MASTAPEECE // flower garden // RRRRRRRRRRRRRR // big fat ___________ // Captain Waxworm // THE MOON IS THICC // cute Hayoon // the confession // Lilly wants to fight // Photoshop // Mom’s Touch Mondays // “contractions” // shipping // READ THE SENTENCE. // Davians // steal // there are three Hayoons // We are 99% banana. // DETACH
After December 27, 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:
Write a story about your journey at PEAI in sixth grade in the third person point of view.
e.g., Once upon a time, a kid named Brenden walked through the doorway of Room 2…"
Comment on a peer’s response.
