Hello, Bunch!

Seeing you today was my world!  I loved it!

I had some questions after our Zoom meeting about where we should be on our learning plan.  Let me give a bit o’ guidance … these are optional!  Everything changed when the Governor closed the building.  He didn’t close our learning, nor our bunch, we rock!  But, when he changed our calendar, we needed to adapt to it.  And we did!  Why?  Cuz’ we’re the Bunch!  The Official, YOU MUST FOLLOW, plan begins next Monday!  So, I would say, until next Monday, this is your penultimate assignment:  JOURNAL!

1.  You are living in a moment of history.  Journal it!
2.  It could be on paper, online, or in the cloud!
3.  Make it meaningful!  Do not write, “Today I did math, then I did reading, then I went outside.”
4. Journal what exactly you did, who was with you, how did you feel?

Here’s an example:

Monday, the first full day after Vermont Governor Scott closed our schools.  I am so sad, but this morning I got a chance to see most of my Bunch on a Zoom meeting!  It was so awesome!  I met so many pets and they met the pooses and rabbits!  (Poose = Cinder, Rabbits/Maine Coon Kittens = Natasha (Tasha) & Nikkita (Nikki))  It was great!  I also spent hours learning how to manage Google Classrooms.  Bunch, remember how I would often say you were my guinea pigs?  OH HECK YEAH, you are the ULTIMATE guinea pigs!  I’m so glad it’s you!  I couldn’t think of a better group to learn, adapt, and be flexible than you!  We can do this, Bunch, we can!    Anyway, I spent the day attempting to learn Google Classroom, caught up with a couple of our missing Bunch members, and did laundry, cooked dinner, and made sure the twins practiced cello and bass!  Mr. Buswell worked from home.  He’d chime in when I had a tech problem, I’d chime in when I thought he needed help with a professional attribute problem!  For example, “Do not call something stupid, just describe the issue!”  Anyway, I miss being in Room 182 with you, and my own twins hate their new teacher.  “She’s MEAN.”

“So, there’s that,” to quote Adrianna!
