Week of June 15^th-19th

                Here we are down to the last week of school.  We have several fun virtual activities beginning with on Monday, June 15^th   at 11 a.m. where we will have an ALL 6^th grade Kahoot zoom meeting.  You might need to sharpen up on your Miller Junior High information and knowledge of the staff. 

           Now down to business, it is crazy to think that we are down to the last week of school. Here is a link to all things happening this last week for instructions on the drop and pick up times for materials. End of Year Information- One place for all the info!

 Another exciting thing coming is summer school!  That is right Miller is providing summer school sessions to help keep you on track and ready to learn next year.  If you are interested please, reach out and let us know so we can get that set up for you.

                Monday morning all work is posted in Google Classroom and or you can pick up the packets at the lunch drop locations if that works better for you.  It is very important that you  put your name on the packet and circle and or write my name on the ELA/SS packet to ensure that I get it back for feedback/grading purposes. 

This week we are sending out some alternate learning things for you to access and use this summer.  We searched high and low to find some intriguing things to keep your mind and body active this summer with a fun choice board made by the entire 6^th grade team.   June 15-19th summer choice boards

                It has been my pleasure and honor to be your teacher this year.  This is not how imagined the first 6^th grade class at Miller Junior High would end, but it is one for the record books that is for sure.  You will always remember this year and I hope looking at the 6th grade memory slide show from last week you can look back on this year with some fond memories and also see the great growth you all have achieved.  I encourage you to continue to ask questions, to continue to seek out the answers, and to get lost in a book.  Keep your mind and body active this summer!  

Sincerely,

Mrs. Janet Dayton
