This year was definitely like no other, but I learned how I learn best. I met new people, and yes I still learned a lot. Everything was different in the beginning of the year, but now it feels natural to press on the zoom link. I definitely saw how I can adapt quickly and power though things.  I learned about routine, freedom, family, friends, technology, and people overall. So with all the shenanigans, I still had so much fun meeting new people and learning. I'm so proud of me for not going completely insane this year. My favorite memory, has to be memories. My first one is the first real zoom for the first day of school. It was the weirdest thing I've experienced. My next favorite is when I first stepped into the real classes, actually see people's shoes. It was super weird as well.
I can't believe the year is over, I had so much fun, and I'll miss everyone so much. Thank you for an incredible year, and have a great summer!

This year was hard but we got through it. Which is pretty cool. It was nice going back in person. I am pretty proud of doing good in school this year. I have learned to appreciate everybody and how hard everyone worked. The teachers did a great job.

# data[].attributes.body
Man what a school year from 5th grade to 6th grade. Who could've possibly knew we would've stayed in home doing zoom and missing friends to speak in person, Personally I thought it was a roller coaster so it probably stay in my mind. Next year I hope we stay in person like what we would have. H.A.G.S

# data[].attributes.body
Although it has been a crazy year it has been great meeting these amazing teachers and classmates. I will have tons of memories to cherish and hold. I hope everyone has a great summer and see you next year!!!

I really don't have that much to say about the year other than the fact that it was very confusing but worked out in the end. That was all I had to say about The Year, by Finn Storey.

# data[].attributes.body
The end of 5th and the whole 6th grade school year(s) have been very different and maybe even stressful for some people, including me. But we have learned and adjusted to this new way of learning online and l
have learned so many new things that we couldn't in person, such as learning how to work together on zoom. This school year has been really chaotic for me and many others and i'm so happy we have finished. <33

# data[].attributes.body
This year was weird and challenging for everyone. I am proud of myself for what I have done this year and I'm excited for 7th grade!

# data[].attributes.body
Wow this school year was short but I had great memories and I will always remember this school year because it has probably been one of my bests.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I am proud of is that I'm finally done. I learned a lot more for writing stories, and also I feel like fourth quarter went by super quickly.

# data[].attributes.body
When I first got into this school year, everything was so foreign, and it was a new style and flow, so I was surprised how easy it was to communicate and make new friends. Although we have a huge barrier between us, I don't think that prevented us to keep on going and persevere. It's difficult working on projects together because we never know what each other is doing or silence greets us. It was very awkward, nevertheless, we were strong and persevered through this year. I've grown to be accustomed to this year, even going back in class to socialize more and work better. Something I am proud of is how hard I worked and my grades. They aren't spectacular or astonishing, but I'm proud of myself that I could make it and get good grades, especially under these conditions. Another thing I'm proud of is all my friends and new people I met during this year, as they are probably the strongest and kindest people I ever met, with amazing skills and beautiful personality. My favorite memory is sitting around in a circle during recess and talking to each other, it's extremely calming and gives me a refreshing break from class! With that being said, and the awesome experience I had during 6th grade, I'm positive we will make it to 7th grade and have an amazing year there too, have a great summer everyone and stay positive :).

This year has been a truly unique year for Covid. I had wished that one day I wouldn't have to go to school every morning and could study at home, I really regret that wish.

This was a very interesting school year with all the zooms and wondering if we will ever get to go back I would say this a school year no one will forget.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked this year i guess but it was just way too dull

# data[].attributes.body
This year has been hard but we got throught it now we get to have a great year in 7th grade!

# data[].attributes.body
This has absolutely been quite the school year, and although it's definitely had its downsides with not being able to see other peoples' faces since lots of kids keep their cameras off all the time, and struggling in breakout rooms because no one is responding when you ask them questions, it has also been a good one, as we've adapted to the changes that we've had to make, and, best of all, this year has been really fun at times, and certainly been far better than school last March after everything shut down because of the pandemic when we were all in fifth grade. Some of my favorite memories include when Ms. Guardino made the Wednesday planning guide for our advisory class meerkat-themed just because meerkats are my favorite animal, and the awesome breakout room activities that we did over Zoom while in um, breakout rooms. All in all, it has certainly been extremely memorable, and one school year that I'll never forget.

# data[].attributes.body
I definitely did not expect 6th grade to be like this but I am glad. It gave me some great memories and experiences that I wouldn't have experience if it wasn't for Covid. See you all next year!

Due to, (ahem) recent events, we were cramped into a new learning style, one that was hard to adapt to. But, we rose to the occasion, and eventually finished the year with only minor mental trauma.

# data[].attributes.body
This year has been a very different from all the others. meeting everyone on zoom and all that, I did NOT think I would make ANY friends at all, let alone the fact that we are in MIDDLE school. And ESPECIALLY when there is zoom, but I did make friend(S) And I am very happy for that, and, almost EVERYONE is kind, I thought I was gonna get flunk middle school. And high school. AND college AND my job, and it turns out, I made it through 1/3 of middle school for now, I thought that quarantine would drive me INSANE, but I actually went INSANE and I still am INSANE, mainly because I was tired to sit on a chair for hours and hurting my eyes and getting my but hurt, I am glad that the school schedule WAS short and it isn't anymore, and this year, I have grown taller, I was a little shorter than average back in 5th grade, and now I am now basically average. I have an A on everything (except at ELA because I suck). and I am a little popular(?) probably because I made A BAZILLION jokes every day, and in conclusion, I enjoyed this year and I will see everyone next year (and also joke a lot until everyone is annoyed) have a great summer everyone!

# data[].attributes.body
Be proud that you made it through the challenges of this year, congratulations.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for all, and I’m hoping to see you all next year ❤️❤️❤️

This Year was crazy and unforgetable

# data[].attributes.body
This year was different from my other years at school. True, it may be different or maybe even a little bit less fun but the fact that we made it through the entire year is something that you should cherish. I am sooooo grateful for my teachers, friends, and family for helping me get through the year! There were some good times throughout school times however, there were some bumps too! I've grown as a person because think about it... I've learned from a completely different environment then ever before! This year overall, I have had a great time adapting to our learning environment, but if we have a choice, I think I would choose to go in person next year! ;)

# data[].attributes.body
This year was very very different I honestly wasn't to bothered by it other than some technical issues but overall this was not a bad year.

# data[].attributes.body
This year was a very unique year. It was something none of us had ever experienced before. I am very grateful to my teachers who never gave up on us and continued to teach us despite troubling times. When we first started online classes, it felt weird and strange. However, after a while, I believe we adjusted pretty well and I know each and everyone of us has learned a big lesson from what has happened. I hope all of us can see each other in-person next year! Have an amazing summer!

# data[].attributes.body
This year was crazy. It was definitely a different, unusual year, and a year that was quite lonely. I did get to talk to my friends often via Discord and FaceTime, but it's not the same, y'know? A plus side of staying home was reading lots of books, and getting to play video games a lot. But honestly, it's pretty sad I still don't really know half of the people in my classes. I hope next year I'll truly get to meet everyone!

# data[].attributes.body
Because of covid 19 this year was different than usual and overall the year was good and thanks Mrs. Chun for teaching us how to write better story's and thanks Mrs. Fox for being a good teacher and the names you named the animals were funny. Happy summer and have a good time with Murderbird and Skunch.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm feeling okay about this year. Since we spent the year online, there were a lot of different things we had to use. I'm gonna take my time watching anime, though.

# data[].attributes.body
I am proud of myself that I accomplished the school year and kept my grades up!

# data[].attributes.body
Even though covid made things harder for us. I still loved learning about all the different ancient civilization. I am really grateful for all the teachers that taught me everything even though it was really hard to.

# data[].attributes.body
I am so proud of everyone for getting through this tough year!

# data[].attributes.body
Im going to miss you Ms. Fraboni! I hope you have a great summer!

# data[].attributes.body
This year wasn't "normal". Due to the pandemic, our 6th grade year was cut short. We all had to socially distance and wear masks too. But, I think there were some good things that happened during the pandemic. I found new passions, and made new friends.

# data[].attributes.body
It was a bit hard to go through the year with the whole COVID thing, but I am really glad that we got to go in person at the end of the school year!

# data[].attributes.body
Even though it was weird taking online classes on zoom at first, but I think we did adjusted pretty well. I learned that we shouldn't take for granted what we have and what we are able to do. Thanks Mrs. Dorazio and Mrs. Watkins for helping us make the best of this year! I'm looking forward to being able to do in-person learning next year!

# data[].attributes.body
this year wasn't normal with all the covid around it got a little sloppy but we went through it and got to go in person school which was way better and suddenly schools over.

# data[].attributes.body
Something i've grown on is knowing more about the civilizations and their lives and inventions. The year has been so different!

# data[].attributes.body
I think this year is very memorable due to our circumstances, with the social distance learning and hybrid shifting. I'm proud of how I stuck through till the end. Thank you so much Ms. Fraboni, have a great summer!

This year was the first year in middle school. I will remember this crazy and challenging year with online learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to covid, this year was really crazy. I'll probably never forget it.

# data[].attributes.body
This year I was really proud that everyone was able to make it through these hard times.

# data[].attributes.body
This year was kinda crazy. It was stressful, hurtful, and sad, espeacally to zoomers who had to stay online. It was a hard year but we all got through it. Have a great summer, bye!

This year was unusual with challenges. I learned a lot and made new friends. I am looking forward to in person learning in the fall.

# data[].attributes.body
Man this year was crazy

# data[].attributes.body
I'll probably always remember this year due to Covid. It was also very weird

# data[].attributes.body
This year was crazy, our first year of middle school was entirely online, which was something we hadn't done before, so it was difficult. But in the end, we came back in person, which was really cool even though we hadn't done that in a while, and here we are.

# data[].attributes.body
This year has been a crazy, fun, and confusing year. I think we all made the best of it and had a good year overall.

I hope to see you all next year😊

# data[].attributes.body
I think that I have grown because now I am more flexible in the ways that I learn. Overall I learned that things aren't going to always turn out how you expected, but that's ok.

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly it was weird how when school started, I was all excited to go but now its then end and I don't wanna go.

# data[].attributes.body
I will remember this crazy but fun year of school will always remember it because of
COVID-19.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I have grown in my ability to work harder. For example, Last year was very easy for me and in Middle school it got a lot harder. So I worked harder. I'm very proud of the grades I got considering half of the year was online. My favorite memory of this year was probably going back to school and being able to see all my teachers and friends in person.

# data[].attributes.body
I will remember this year as it was online for most of it but for the last few months we got to go in-person! It was kind of hard to forgot this year because of Covid.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a weird year, and I am probably going to over exaggerate it to my kids (if I have them) just because why. not xD.

# data[].attributes.body
At first, I felt weird about taking class in my room. However, I got used to it and I think I will remember this school year later on. I hope I can see some classmates and teacher next year too :)

# data[].attributes.body
Covid was probably in the way of things like going to in person for the first half of the year, or not getting to all of the things that we could do, but you where a great teacher, I love your humor! Learning about the ancient civilizations was super fun, Thank you so much Ms. Guardino!

# data[].attributes.body
This year online was he weird for all of us some people liked it and some people didn't but I had fun doing stuff with my teachers this year and when I'm older I'll remember this and maybe one day when I have kids I might tell the story of my school year and Union Middle School see you guys in August - Alex

# data[].attributes.body
This year was online and weird but I still learned a lot, such as history and more and I am happy to have you as my teacher.

Even though insane COVID-19 ambushed us, I was happy to meet my awesome classmates and great teachers. I had a lot of fun with both studying and playing. I will miss everybody in my class.

# data[].attributes.body
From this year, although it was unusual, I've learned plenty. Learning from ancient civilizations to world issues to reading new books was definitely interesting. I know that I will be missing this class!

# data[].attributes.body
It has indeed been a crazy year, I am happy I got to meet everyone in our class. I hope I see you guys next year !

# data[].attributes.body
I think I have learned a lot this year from how to find the area of a triangle to learning how to keep my Chromebook more organised. This year was definitely a little harder at first but I think we all did a good job adapting to the challenge of distanced learning. Overall, I loved learning so much this year and liked all of my teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
I will remember how wierd this year was because of COVID-19

# data[].attributes.body
In person school was really fun, and I enjoyed being there. I will always remember this year for all the craziness that has happened.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel in a way I understand more about history and I feel that I can write better emails. Online school was fun but I missed out on alot of things I would've done in person. Over all, I've improved.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned a lot this year both in class and about myself. I learned valuable skills from this experience of online learning. Definitely wasn't expected, but we did end off the year on a great note. It was so fun!

# data[].attributes.body
I thought this year was definitely a hard one at first but in the end we got through it.  I learned that we can’t take for granted what we have.(spending time with friends and family are one of those.) I am very proud of myself for getting through this year and very thankful to my classmates and teachers that helped me along the way.

# data[].attributes.body
I will always remember this year as a wacky one it's definitely not what I thought it was going to be all though it was very fun and I learned a lot!

# data[].attributes.body
In person school was fun, I liked when there was days of online. Overall school this year was confusing and not too bad.

# data[].attributes.body
Some ways I've grown this year is by learning to be a more responsible student and person in general, and I also learned to overcome some hard situations. I had to adapt to the ways of online school, and at first it was super hard and confusing, but later I learned to remember things better and developed a schedule to be more organized.

# data[].attributes.body
This year was a hard time because of distance learning. But this helped me persevere and continue to work hard. This is a year to remember. :)

# data[].attributes.body
I learned a lot and made a lot of new friends. I learned about how to be flexibile and how to communicate between different things.

My favorite memory this year was going in person to school and seeing my friends and my teachers. One thing that I am proud of is being able to adapt to all of the difficult things that we have had to do. (For example online school.)

When I imagined middle school, I imagined me taking my first step onto the campus with a smile and making new friends along the way. What I didn't imagine was sitting in my dim lighted dining room and watching my classmates join a Zoom meeting, some cameras turned on and some off. Even now I don't know how some of my classmates look like! We all had struggles, but you can't say you didn't smile at least once during the pandemic. I've grown throughout this year because I learned things that my past self wouldn't have known. I'm proud of myself because I improved on a lot of stuff. I can't decide what my favorite memory was this year, there were too many, ha ha, but this year was definitely a memorable one. Sometimes during the school year, I was so distracted with doing schoolwork and listening to teachers talking through Zoom that I completely forgot that there was such thing as the Corona virus. Whenever I forgot and someone brought it up, it always hit me like a brick in the head. The Corona virus has been here over a year, but it still has that shocking effect even now. A big takeaway I had from this year was that we're so far but so close. We're not sitting next to each other and intensely scribbling notes down on sheets while raising our heads once in a while to make eye contact with the teacher. We're not sitting with all our friends at the lunch table, laughing about what they saw during the weekend. We're not playing board games and laughing over videos while it's raining outside. But we're still joining Zoom and entering classes (socially distanced) while greeting each other. And even if other people can't see the smile under your mask, they see your eyes that are sparkling with excitement, curiosity, and warmth.
Yeah, I'm gonna end this before it turns into a long essay about the Corona virus, which it probably already has, but hopefully next year we'll be able to show our bright smiles without having a mask to cover it up. Thank you Mrs. Dorazio and Mrs. Watkins for an awesome year! Have an amazing summer, everyone! ❤️

This is year was very different than other years. We were online most of the year and we couldn't do things that we would have done. Though, I still have grown and learned a lot this year. My problem solving skills and listening skills have really grown, because online, there are many problems and you only have yourself to fix them. I also got a better growth midset and presisted in times that there was a problem. I also got to make new friendships that might not have happened if we were in-person. I think that the lesson I learned this year is to not take things for granite and that even in bad times, good thing can come out of it.

# data[].attributes.body
This year was the most hectic year for everyone; students and teachers. Asides, I want to thank all the teachers and students who made this year wonderful despite this situation!

# data[].attributes.body
This was one of the most tough years for everybody. It was new way of learning and was different and difficult to learn but we endured it and we are officially through it. Though with all of the bad things there were still some great things like, meeting new people when moving to different school or, talking to your old ones you couldn't see during the pandemic.

This year has been a sruggle being on zoom not with friends but we all are working together and with a little bit more working together and cooroperating together we will defeat this virus once and for all. The virus that i'm talking about is covid.

I learned a lot during this year. even though it was a weird one. I learned to operate chromebooks better, as well as learning the most important sixth grade skills. Overall, I enjoyed this year and liked my teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Although this year was a weird one because of distance learning, I still learned a lot. From different types of cells, to ancient civilizations, 6th Grade was very fun! In the past year, I've enhanced my knowledge with the help of my teachers. In addition, one big takeaway from this year is to never give up hope for if you don't, you can overcome any challenge!

I had great teachers for every grade I have been in. Now including 6th grade. I am looking forward to in person learning in the fall.

This year was by far one of the wackiest years of school for me. We have different periods as 5 grade didn't use the period system. Thank you Ms. Fraboni for teaching us the whole year. Who says ancient Mesopotamia is boring? I am really proud of my ELA/SS grades. It came from a B+ to a A- to an A! Every school memory is a good one! I love school!

# data[].attributes.body
This year has been wild, full of twist and turns. Thank you Ms. Fraboni for helping everyone an guiding us. You are by far one of the best teachers ive had this year and i will miss class a lot. Hopefully i will see you next year and say hi! Have a great summer you deserve it!

This year was one of the weirdest,  but is it ever possible for a school year to be normal? I just want to start of by saying that when I came to this school (In 4th quarter) I felt a warm welcome, better then any other schools. I learned so much things this year such as ancient India, Greece china, and Rome. I also learned about different energy such as kinetic energy, I'm proud that even though when I came to this school I did not know everything you guys were doing I still got perfect grades! -Thank You So Much and have a great summer <3

This year I'm proud of getting better grades on Social Studies because that is the subject I struggle on. Even though we had Distance Learning most of the year, it was still a good year.
