To the lovely Division 4 community,

It was so nice to chat and share memories, photos, and snacks together this morning during our zoom celebration. It was lovely to join together for one last time before summer break!

As our year draws to an end today, some things on Teams will be changing. I will be shutting down the communication aspect of Teams on Friday, because I won’t be able to monitor the chats over the summer. You will still have access to your assignments and feedback until mid-July.

It has been an absolute pleasure being your teacher this year! I’m sorry our year did not turn out in the way we had all hoped! I’m thankful that we got to learn some wonderful things together, explore the amazing forest and garden around us, and go on a few field trips like to Grouse Mountain, Fraser River Discovery Centre, Vancouver Art Gallery and Burnaby Village Museum! It was so fun seeing those photos this morning!

I am so proud of each one of you for learning this platform so quickly and navigating through distance learning. This was a challenge, and one you took on with great perseverance. You should be really proud of yourselves and of your family for getting through all these changes. Thank you for all the kindness, patience and support that you showed me and each other throughout these last few months. I hope you all have an amazing and restful summer! I’ll miss you all so much! Take care!

Love,

Ms. Carley
