It's time for our farewell address. A precedent (tradition) set by President George Washington.

It is our final meeting for our Social Studies class. It is a surreal moment as you exit a part of U.S. and World History: online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Share your final words with the class as you reflecting on your experiences this year.

Dear Students,

I can't say enough wonderful things about you. I am blessed to have seen you, young learners, grow in my classroom. I really enjoyed day in and day out filled with your jokes, laughter, hard work, and inquisitiveness. I can honestly say I looked forward to coming into my classroom and working with you.

Further, your ability to adapt to the online learning platform has left me in amazement. I really enjoyed getting to know each of you better in your journal and padlet writing. I know we didn't give the Civil War and Reconstruction it's true justice, but I hope you have left with some understanding of how that time period impacts the future of American History.

I also want to remind you of your achievement in receiving 6th place in the district during our Benchmark in March. You had the best scores in the Southside, and you all had not even covered Civil War yet!

We do not know what the future holds in many regards, but I know you all have the willpower, work ethic, heart, optimism, and smarts to make it. I am very proud of how far you all have come, and I cannot imagine all the great and wonderful things ahead of you.

Please know that myself, and all your middle school teachers, cannot wait to see what kind of magic you create in high school and the future!

Best wishes,

Ms. Verastigui

I used to look forward this class sometimes before corona. I enjoyed learning something new about our country. Although it was difficult at times, there were also many enjoyable moments in the social studies classroom. The classroom was filled with the laughter of Mrs. Verastigui's classroom. My farewell address is to not leave Mrs. Verastigui's highlighters on the floor.

It was cool being in class and learning about the United States and some of the wars. I would've prefered to be in class working together, but it was also fun learning online

I enjoyed going to this class on the daily because we learned a lot. I enjoyed laughing with my classmates and being able to find out new things. I will miss this class a lot, for it taught me a lot of new things. I loved having you as my teacher, and I will miss you too ma'am. Thank you for everything you did for us.

this year was a very unreal experience we had to get used to learning online which was not as good as being able to learn in a classroom after corona i do not think that life will get back to normal like we have to be social distancing which is something we have never done before and i will be missing going to class and seeing my friends
