Justin who?

Just in time to login to school for the day.

I started 6th grade in the beginning of September. Due to remote learning my classes have been taken remotely. In class we learn something new every day. I always wonder how 6th grade would have been if this global pandemic had never happened. 

All of my teachers are really friendly and nice. Why did the Chromebook look so sad during math class?Because it had so many problems!! Just like that remote learning can have many problems but my teachers keep me engaged in class lessons or doing classwork. I really appreciate all of the hard work they have done to make 6th grade enjoyable. I enjoy listening to Hoot&Hollers(book talks) in ELA. In science I enjoy playing Blooklet and learning about the mysteries of light. In math I enjoy being able to understand function concepts easily. In social studies I enjoy learning about culture's, similarities and differences. Even though, there is a pandemic, I am still able to interact with my classmates virtually during classes. 

I am learning how to play the flute and so far it has been so fun. The notes, flow out of me and many of the songs we are learning are songs from my childhood. In chorus I love singing new songs and doing the fun warm ups.

There are so many fun school clubs to join in school, such as Chess Club, Yearbook Club, Math Club, and Treble Singers. In chess club I would play online chess against many participants. In yearbook club we are creating the school yearbook, with pictures and quotes. Math club has tricky equations to solve with friends. In treble singers I sing songs with lots girls. 

Whenever I go back to school I would have a locker, moving from class to class, having shorter lunches and classes, and interacting with new people and my old friends.

For remote learning instead of having all my classes in one day I would split my classes in half every alternating day except Mondays. On Mondays I would have all my classes for 25 minutes. ELA would be 60 minutes on Mondays though. Out of all the classes I have ELA is the longest.

Online school gets difficult at times, since we re looking at a screen for long time each day. That can cause headaches and tiredness, so I try to take breaks when possible. Some things to do when taking breaks, are read book, get a snack, drink water, play with a sibling, and stretching.

This new schedule took a while to get used to, even if I go back to school it will take time to get used to. Overall remote learning has been so exciting even though I am not at school.
