Though we’ve had huge barriers between us and the kids this past year, we’ve done so much more writing back and forth with one another. We have conversations through Canvas inbox, on Canvas document submissions, and in Teams chats.
Sometimes the kids sound quite mature and other times somewhat helpless (Miss, how can I higher my grade? What am I missing? Where can I find that?). And other times? They sound exactly like the sixth graders they are. Here’s one email exchange that made me laugh out loud:
Me: Are you able to access the book without any trouble?
Student: Yes.
Me: Great! You have the weekend to catch up. Don’t forget to use the code I sent you. I’m reading the book now, and I can’t wait for the bully to get what he deserves (I’m crossing my fingers!).
Student: Noice.
