Dear Mom and Dad, Thank you for coming to my SLC. My year has been going well so far. One of the things I like is that after 10 minutes of silent work, Misa lets us listen to music and that helps me focus on my work. Also, the tea helps me relax. I think me not sitting next to J.J. helps a LOT.
Some of the things I am excited about are Memegic, Minecraft, Passion, and the Halloween party because I get to work with Plus-Plus and I get to be creative while doing so. By the time you read this letter, it will have been a week ago, but last Thursday we presented our Story of Stuff Slideshow.
One of the things I am not so excited about is the new Cohort switch because I am afraid that some of the people will be distracting. Another thing I am not excited about is the 8th-grade Portfolio.
Thank you for coming and I hope the next SLC is as good or better as this one!
