How to Succeed in Mr. Steltman's Class - A Letter

6/22/2017

 
Congratulations on completing your year! This is it, your final homework, your final blog post for grade six!  It’s also the only task on your homework this week!
Make it fun to read! For homework this week please write a letter to MY (Mr. Steltman) future students; write to students who will be in my class next year a letter on “How to be successful in Mr. Steltman’s Class”.  
You are free to be funny, honest, and share whatever you would think someone do their best if they’re stuck with my and all my quirks.  
These will be shared with my students on the first day of school in September.
 
That’s it, that’s your homework for the last week.  


As for me, I want to thank you all for being such an interesting class, so full of life, excitement and energy about everything we learned.  You were always willing to try something new, attempt projects, and put full effort into everything that we tried this year.  It was such a great year, with our class really pulling together and being kind to each other.  For me, you all really seemed like a family; willing to help eachother out, defend each other but also with lots of the small fights and apologies that we see in a family.  
It was such a great year, so much laughter, shouting, and most of all, learning.  You’re all incredible and unique individuals, and I want you to remember to be kind, be true to yourself, and to make good choices.
Thanks so much for this year!
Mr. Steltman

Writing Letters & Reflecting

6/18/2017

 
    Congratulations to each and every one of you as you begin to think about your summer and the completion of a very successful school year! End of year is always a time of reflection, to take stock of what you completed, what you were most proud of and what you still want to accomplish next year.  With that thought in mind, I’m going to give a choice on a letter you can write.  I will give you three choices on the letter that you can write:
  1. A letter to your classmates this year -- thank them for specific events, a look back on great things that we’ve accomplished, showcasing positives from this year, or anything that talks about the incredible work we’ve done this year.
  2. A letter to your future teacher -- this is a chance to talk about you as learner, what do they need to know about you, what are your learning quirks, you struggles, your goals, how can they help you learn.  If you write this letter, I will help you print off a copy to bring with you on your first day of school so that your teacher can benefit from what you already know about yourself as a learner.

Looking Towards The End!

    It’s JUNE! Can you believe it?  When we read these blog posts there will only be three weeks left of school.  This year has gone by so quickly! It seems like only yesterday that we were starting on this grade six journey and oh my goodness, you have grown so much: physically, emotionally, academically!  Let’s use this week to look back, to have a look through all the great things we’ve done and documented as a class, and talk about how that event helped this year be a great one!  
    So, to describe, your blog post this week involves a few parts.  The first thing is to write a paragraph that describes how you felt your year was.  Did you enjoy yourself, did you learn things about yourself, did you grow as a person and as a student?  Talk about your best memories, the good things, the goals you set, and the things you achieved.  The second part of the task is quite fun.  Click on this link to see all the pictures that we took on twitter this year.  Go through from the beginning (Sept 9, 2016 was the first day of school), and choose one picture.  Copy the link to that picture, put it in your post, and then talk about why that one event was special to you.  
    This is such a great way to showcase your learning, your growth, and your year.  I’m so excited to read your posts and to see the photos you’ve chosen!  Mine is the one seen above.  It took months of hard work, resilience, and patience but we got the vex robot to make it to the recycle bin.  Just another reason why I #lovemyhaltonschool!
