Mr. Steltman - Redirecting ...

Thank YOU for ...

6/14/2018

 
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.

In conclusion, I’d like to take this time to thank you all …

Dear Alex A, thank you for being the first person to class every day!  Thank you for your growth as a student, thank you for your excitement!  Your speed at which .you can switch between windows on the chromebook is incredible!

Dear Classmates,

Thanks, that basically says everything but all I'm trying to say is Thank you for making me feel welcome no matter where I sit and not shooing me or booing me when I make a bad joke or something, you just sit there and stare at me awkwardly until I go away or do something cool, but thats better than booing, right?

From,
Willan

Dear 5-1 Students,

Thank you for everything basically. Thank you for making me feel calm before a test thank you for your positive attitude. This year was a great one but it wouldn't be same without any person in this class and that includes you Mr.Steltman. We have accomplished so much more that I have any other year, I have made new friends and learnt more and joined and tried new things. One of the most memorable moments with 5-1 were morning math. As this seems like an everyday thing it really went far. I learned whole new strategies, I saw how my peers showcased their work, and also just a good time. Our class was so creative and we were open to everything looking back at it we made commercials, robots, beautiful art and much much more. Once again I want to thank you for everything you have done.

Thanks,
Romina

Dear 5-1,

Thank you for everything we did together this year and making everyone feel welcome (not just from our class) when they walk in the room because without all of that there would be the first class in the history of this school to be boring. So I just wanted to say thank you for all you've done this year to make it such a great one.

Dear 5-1 students,

Thank you for always making me feel happy around you. This year was full of forming friendships with each other. This class was so wonderful! You were kind to each other. You were hard working. We all participated in everything that Mr. Steltman gave us. We all persevered with math problems that were SO hard. Most of us wanted to just give up. But we did not. When we finished it was such a relief! We showcased so many strategies in solving the problems. I also learned many of them too. Our “morning math” really helped me with developing deeper understanding of math.

You gave more than 100% on class projects. We had a lot of projects last year but the most memorable for me are the Wonder project and the Vex robots. We accomplished a lot while doing those projects. While working on the Wonder project we learned how to create a short movie trailer, podcast, magazine article, diorama, and comic book. I really enjoyed all of the finished results of classmates’ projects. They were all so cool!

During the Vex robot project we learned how to construct robots and program them to do cool things like flashing lights and following a track. There was some great learning in this project.

Now we all are smarter! I loved being with all of you. Thank you everyone for making this school year an awesome one!

From,
Alex T.

Dear grade 6 teacher,

Here are some things that you should know about me:
1.I think that me as a learner I need to work on math so a hope that you are a teacher who can help me with my math
2.I hope that this year we do a lot of art because art is awesome
3.I hope that you will teach us a lot of new things because I love trying new things and working hard it is a great felling
4.My goal for grade 6 is to FOCUS because I feel that focusing is something that I need to work on because in grade I did focus but not as much as I wished I could

Sincerely,
Emma.J

Dear 6th grade teacher of mine,

I am a good listener, I love writing, and Mr.Steltman is the best teacher EVER! I am not that organized and sometimes get sidetracked, but hey, everyone makes mistakes. My goals are to be more organized and be the best student ever. I can help my learning by doing a little extra to bump up my mark to a 4 instead of a 3 plus. I also have a saying I say to my friends:
"Just try it, then you can fail it!"

6/20/2018 04:12:21 pm

Romina
6/20/2018 04:41:17 pm

Dear Mr. Steltman,

I know, I know, I'm sorry okay, this wasn't what we were supposed to do but I don't care.
Thank you so much Mr. Steltman. You have been the best teacher I have ever had (sorry Mr. Maclean). You made learning fun and games so that we didn't even know until we walked out of class. I don't want to leave but I have to. It would be impossible to fail this year with you teaching us, even though I actually want to. I want to be in your class for a second year. I can't imagine a year without you anymore. Perhaps you could consider teaching 6th grade next year? Never mind. It couldn't top this one. Never change.

Thank you for everything,
Adogoithi

Thank you for being in my class and making me feel good/welcome!
When I am with this class I always feel so joyful and happy and that's because everyone always tries their hardest and works together. That's why we are the best class ever! Thank you for collaborating with me and doing projects with me and everything. We have all put so much effort into class 5-1 and that's what makes it soo awesome! Looking back through the year, our class has accomplished so much and it was mostly because of the students our teacher! I truly wish this year would never end!

Dear Class 5-1 and Mr. Steltman,

This has been the greatest year ever and I can put how great it is in words! It's been packed full with fun things, just to name a few, commercials, frog math, vex, coding and way more, but this isn't what the blogpost is supposed to be about, this is for thanking all of you guys, every single one of you. You guys are the ones who make 5-1 so awesome, including you Mr. Steltman. Thank you for making this classroom full with joy everyday, and welcoming everyone. Whenever I was down, and it's hard to be down in this class, everyone just makes you laugh and you feel like you are at home.

At the start of the year I was worried, because Mr. Steltman was new to this school and none of us knew anything about him, but this has been the best year ever, all thanks to Mr. Steltman. I don't think that it is possible to say thank you enough to him because he has put in so much time and effort into making school fun! I know that, before this year, some of you thought that fun and school don't go in the same sentence, but Mr. Steltman made it possible. I can remember the first day of school, and it seems like it was just yesterday, but now it's all done, and I wish it wasn't. So thank you very much Mr. Steltman and class 5-1 for making this the best year ever!

Signing off for the last time😖😫😢😥😭,

Oh hello there, fellow classmates. I want to thank you for putting that extra effort to make memories as a class. Starting this year not being with the friends that i’ve been with last year didn’t make me have a positive impact in being in this class, But I’ve learned that you should make new friends and have all sorts.
Thank you for making me laugh with those posts on classroom it was a little spec of laughter that cheered me up.
It was really fun working together in groups especially when eating chips during math!
Thank you 5-1 classmates for being awesome and having a good year,
and I’ll say that I’ll misss this class byeee!
