Wow, it’s hard to believe that the last day of the 2013-14 school year has come and gone!  We wrapped up the year with independent projects in order to dig deeper into our own interest areas.   There were projects completed on the history of favorite gaming systems, nuclear reactors, basketball, robotics, the Holocaust, and more.  We learned so much from each other and possibly found new interests for ourselves in the process!

The Oakdale 6th graders took “trips” to many different corners of the world and brought a piece or two back into the classroom to share.  We had a presentation day that included a world feast.  The food was delicious and such a great way to experience a new culture!  They encouraged us all to add a few new destinations to our bucket lists!  🙂

It has been a great year full of new and exciting learning adventures!  I am so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such talented individuals this year!  We are all learners in this process and I hope you all learned as much from me as I did from you!

Congratulations to all of the 6th graders on the close of one chapter in your lives and the amazing opportunities that await!  I am glad I was able to be a small part of your journey!

Enjoy your summer and always be on a mission to actualize your talents!
