Dear Mr. Miller and Mrs. Halloran,
I am so glad I had you as my teacher last year. You helped me far into my first year at Saxton. I hope you, your family, Mrs. Halloran, Mrs. Hallorans family and your 2019-2020 class are doing amazing.
Sincerely,
Madilyn k Hoiland
Dear Madilyn,
It is nice to hear from you. Thank you for your kind words of appreciation. We are doing well and had no doubt that you would be prepared for your first year of middle school. Take good care of yourself as you engage in learning opportunities from home. We wish you and your family the very best.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Halloran and Mr. Miller
Dear Mrs. Halloran/Mr. Miller, I had a question about our online learning. Since we are using the post on Microsoft Teams, will we still be able to reach you using the Blog? Or are you utilizing the Mircosoft Teams platform from now on, since we are participating in online learning?
I await your response soon, sincerely Jordan Caceres
Dear Jordan,
Thank you for you kind Easter wishes to us all. Throughout this time of learning from home, you are welcome to continue utilizing our class website. We encourage you to communicate with your cohort members and peers on the blog. You are responsible for logging on to Microsoft Teams daily and completing assignments posted within that platform. However, this class website is an opportunity for you to enhance your learning opportunities. When you have a moment, take a look at new components added to our site. They are the Exploration of Thought and Feedback Center. You are welcome to engage in writing at anytime. If you post your thoughts in the Feedback Center, Mr. Miller or I will engage in the feedback loop with you. I hope you and your family enjoyed your Easter together as well.
Take care,
Mrs. Halloran
Dear Mrs.Halloran,
On the day before school was closed I did not take my rally books from my cohort. Is there any possible way to get both books online?
Sincerely,
Braiden Berardino
Dear Braiden,
I’s nice to hear from you. I hope you and your family are well. I’m looking forward to learning together again on our digital platform beginning April 13th. Until then, please feel free to address questions or thoughts you may have on our blog. Remember, you are only responsible for your work packets at this time. In regards to your Rally books, you can access them online. If you go to the district website, go to the district office tab. To your left, you’ll see COVID-19 Updates. Click on 5th grade work packets & resources. Under “News” click “Learn More.” That will bring you to all your materials, At the very bottom, you will find a link to your ELA and Math Rally books. I hope you can access you materials easily now.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Halloran
Dear Mr. Miller, Mrs. Halloran, and fellow peers,
Throughout the day I found the explanation about striving harder with more effort and care, as well as, presenting our optimal level beneficial, because it shows me how I should be trying harder, because this year is like a waterfall, going very fast and how everyone in Cognitiveunderstandia should be cherishing these moments because this is something that we probably will never receive later in our academic career. This is why Cognitiveunderstandia should stay as twelve states because like you and Mrs. Halloran said everyone has a voice which can make a difference and I believe those words have great meaning and value because it shows how everyone in Cognitiveunderstandia can change in their paths and sustain their states with care and love. Through everyone in Cognitiveunderstandia utilizing their voices they all can lead in the best way as possible without reminders, everyone just needs a second chance to prove how well they can lead their states. The states in Cognitiveunderstandia should be twelve not ten, eight or less because we all are life- long learner whom bring success through mistakes.
Dear Emily,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. You demonstrate attributes of a true leader and your commitment to growing as a life-long learner is admirable. The effort and care you put forth in both your own progress and the well being of Cognitiveunderstandia is noticed.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Halloran
Dear Cognitiveunderstandia, Mr.Miller and Mrs.Halloran,
Today was my first day of school, at Cold Spring, and it is a nice school, but I just wanted to say the amount of money in my personal account would be 85,600, and will be divided equally among the states.
Sincerelly,
Naomi Amatuegwu
Thank you for providing your account balance and expressing your wish to share it equally with the states; they will certainly appreciate the gesture. Enjoy your new learning environment; I am certain you will find success in every endeavor you engage.
As a student I do agree that it is unfair students don’t take advantage of our resources around us in Cognitiveunderstandia. The statement that both of you gave today inspired me to put care into everything I do. Now I’m going to improve upon my efforts as a governor. I apologize if I was not putting in full effort before. I will be sure to improve upon that.
Dear Jillian,
Thank you for taking the time to share your shift in thinking with us. It is my hope that both you and your cohort will benefit from your decision to put forth more effort and care. Remember, “Your deeds are your monuments.”
Sincerely,
Mrs. Halloran
Dear Mrs. Halloran,
I have a question about the PEMDAS assignment. My question is are we supposed to do the self check quiz at home on the my math website, or are we going to do it in school?
Dear Lily,
You are responsible for completing your PEMDAS assignment on MyMath from home. You may set up your calculations in your math notebook, but your answers are to be entered online. Be certain to compose your plan for balancing all accounts in Cognitveunderstandia. Tomorrow you will need to present your detailed plan to our president. Once your plan is approved, you’ll begin implementing your new system to ensure that all accounts are maintained accurately.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Halloran
Dear Mr.Miller,
I am writing because I have submitted a quiz on the my math page on accident and was wondering if you could send back the quiz on that was due on January 12th and it was dealing with decimals. Please, thank you.
Dear Mr.Miller,
I haven’t been back on this website for a while and I wanted to check in and say hello! I started high school this year and its been tough but my studies are good. I’m not sure if you still remember me, but I was your student in 2016. I don’t have much time right now but good luck to your new class!
Of course I remember you; your diligence and commitment to your fifth grade experience was impressive.
Hope this note finds you well. It is hard to believe that you have entered the high school portion of your academic journey. However, there is no doubt that you will excel.
Wishing you all the best!
Today I have given the role of taking care of the Tower Garden with my cohort: East Abolitionist Truthinora. My cohort and I are very excited to study and take care of the Tower Garden for Cognitiveunderstandia. Wish us luck!
Dear Peers and Mr Miller,
I would like you honest opinion on a Wonder precept I chose. My goal was to get better at collaboration, so the precept I chose was “No man is an island, entire of itself.” By John Donne. I am thinking of choosing it but I believe I need some opinions first. 😁
First off, I would like to thank you for the preperation you have provided me with for middle school and highscool. Fifth grade has been a year I have looked back at and appreciated the knowledge I gained in that class. On the other hand, I have noticed that my sister Naomi has taking a liking to your class. She comes home everyday and can’t stop talking about school. Everytime I explain something to her and say “um” she gets highly offended, even as i write this she’s looking over my shoulder, screaming and sputtering at me for just typing it. Most of all, the reason I was inspired to write this (besides the fact that she told me to) was because I asked her to help me study vocabulary for my geometry quiz tomorrow, and when I struggled to recall the vocabulary, she would hand the sheet back to me and say, “Go back and study, then come back when you’re ready.” I was taken aback because I can remember you saying this to me in similar situations. In conclusion, even though she’s getting really annoying, I’d like to thank you for helping my sister reach for the stars.
It is my sincere hope that this reply finds you doing well and excelling in all your academic endeavors. I wanted to take a moment to extend my appreciation for the kind sentiments expressed in your post.
It is always nice to read that students are building those neural connections essential to fostering long-term memory and enhanced skill development. I am pleased to know that Naomi is promoting such strategies at home in your preparation for the quiz. Best wishes in demonstrating your understanding of geometry; I am sure you will do well.
It is a pleasure to have you back in cognitiveunderstandia. It is not cognitiveuunderstandia without you. I’m looking forward to seeing you again tomorrow in class.
Dear peers,
As you know we had worked on “Wonder” precepts and as I shared with Mr. miller you can selct a precept and set a goal and connect them easily. The one way you connect them easily is you can decompose and then compose. For instance I found a precept by Reinhold Niebuhr “Love is like a river, never ending as it flows, but gets greater with time.”-Reinhold Niebuhr; lets say my goal was to improve in writing, I could say, “Love is like a river,” connects with my goal because I love to write and I believe when I write my words and passion for writing flows onto the paper. I could explain more about how and why I feel this way about writing but I will just continue the steps. “Never ending as it flows,” could mean your love for writing will always be with you. Again you could go deeper in your writing but I won’t. Then you could talk about how “but gets greater in time.” just like your understanding your understanding evoles into something better than before.
Dear Mr. Miller,
For my let grow, I choose to pick a precept from Wonder. At first I couldn’t figure out if there was a precept that would go along with my goal. After reading closely, I deciding what precept I wanted. In addition, I thought I could pretend as if I was one of the characters in Wonder and make a precept for Mr. Brown, but the precept was mainly for Auggie. The precept that I wrote was, in life there’s some ups and downs but the best thing in life is cherishing those moments. In the end I created a precept for Mr. Brown that was mainly for Auggie, made a goal and choose a precept from Wonder.
Sincerely,
Emily Varghese
Great to receive your post. I am do well and hope that my post finds you doing well and putting forth the outstanding potential you possess. Thanks for checking in and I wish you success in all you do.
I want to say congratulations to all those people who got elected. And congratulations to the people who did not get elected but ran for the position, you guys made so much effort and hard work and you guys are the true leaders. I am proud of all of you… be leaders and be role models to your peers.
I’m very happy that I’m class president, the curiosity I have, to see how our class government will interact as a team, and what the future beholds for me as president is humongous. While I was looking around the website, I saw how cognitiveunderstandia has most of the position placed under a certain section. In addition, I would like to say how much fun I had, and how I’m hoping that that we have another election for the second trimester. To add on, I would like to complement those who presented their speech to the class, and how much courage and leadership they have shown, and even for those who lost, you know that at least someone is appreciating the effort that you put in for election day. In conclusion I wanted to ask you, if we have the small election for the position of class secretary tomorrow and if i dress nice or not? Please answer my question if you are able to do so.
For my let grow I took the opportunity to understand what atoms were. In addition I read over my speech for the election tomorrow I found some mistakes, was so glad that I read it over because when I read it to the class it will be perfect. While trying to understand what atoms and elements were, I found out that some of the elements are the ones that keeps us alive such as oxygen that is a key to not making us die. As well atoms are the smallest unit on earth.
Dear Mr.Miller,
I have just completed my election speech for tomorrow. At first, I didn’t think I’d want to run for anything. But, I decided to run for Supreme Court Justice over the weekend. I’m happy with my decision of running, and even if I don’t win, I’ll still be happy that I tried and had run through out the process of making my speech, and poster. I’m really looking forward to election day!
I had a question about the election. Is there a restriction of what we should wear? For an example heels or sneakers and is Mrs Halloran and her class joining our class and create a whole class of students that run for a position during the election.
Dear Mrs.Halloran,
I was thinking about the elections and I wonted to know if I can make buttons to give out that say Vote for Ryan president and how big the banner should be so I know so I can make it. I think that is all thank you.
sincerely,
Ryan.Gogarty
Dear Ryan,
Being a proactive learner who asks questions about their learning will support you on your quest in becoming a life-long learner. In regards to our Class Election, you may create buttons and a campaign poster to encourage other students to vote for you. The size of the poster is up to you. However, remember to utilize your non-negotiables for writing when you compose your poster and campaign speech. Words are powerful and when communicated effectively, can have a positive influence in persuading others. I wish you the best of luck on this exciting endeavor!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Halloran
Dear Mr.Miller,
I was thinking about elections and I was thinking about being Supreme court judge and was not really sure what there job was. Can u tell me what there job is.
When you told me that in compass points I shouldn’t repeat I’m excited and so on, I really tried hard to make all of the cardinal directions the best. While I was at home I took the opportunity to create a better word to start my sentence, and it turned out great. I couldn’t have done this without the inspiration I received from Matthew six word novel. I really complement him for all the effort he’s putting in. Thank you Mr. Miller and Matthew for inspiring me to go to the optimum level.
At first when I was learning to decompose a number it was confusing for me, but once I saw the whole picture I understood it. While I looking around the website I found how to decompose a number under the math videos section if any of my peer need help finding the link its right there. In the end my day was very enjoyable with all the new things I learned over the past few weeks I’ve been in your class.
Dear Mr.Miller,
I was wondering since we have or had an vocabulary maybe every vocab. word we can have an activity for each word. For instance for “artifact” we could bring in an artifact either important to just you or multiple people. Please consider my idea and maybe if you concur with my idea of disagree we can all come up with new fun ideas that connect to what we shall learn or be learning.
I think that the challenge in the morning about what the difference between knowledge and understanding was a great experience for me, because I received the chance to create ideas with my cohort. As well we went up to chime in and tell are understanding of the two words. In addition when we made a mistake we tried to fix the issue so were learning from what we did wrong. When listening to other cohort they gave more ideas for my cohort to think whether we concur with the other cohorts idea, this way we were developing deepen understanding.
Dear Emily,
I agree with what you have stated and I would like to complement you on how wonderfly and beautifully you have stated the sentence(s). The way you have been using the website has been absolutely helpful and wonderful. I really encourage myself and other peers to use the website like you.
Your idea is certainly one to investigate; perhaps you and your peers can further discuss this approach during a Challenge Session. In addition, I would like to thank you for the thoughtful comments you posted in regards to Emily’s thoughts; this is exactly how the blog should be utilized.
I am pleased that you found the discussion between knowledge and understanding beneficial. Your thoughts demonstrate the importance of effort within our collaborative endeavors; keep being a wonderful example to your peers.
Dear Mr.Miller,
I am so happy was in your class last year. In Saxton we have went over some subjects you have tought us. It gave us a headstart from others.We all still think of you.
Does your class have states yet? If so who is in Harlowdignitylandia.
From, Madilyn.H
I am very pleased that you found your learning opportunities in fifth grade to have prepared you for your transition to Saxton. I am certain that your diligence will serve you well as you progress through the academic year.
As for the states, the students have started the process of understanding government and the state structures. As we move forward, they will continue to develop the structures that were created last year. Have a great week.
For my let grow I took the opportunity to deepen my understanding in government. I learned that there are three branches the legislative executive and judicial branch, and all of them have a job. The legislative branch is where the house of representatives create law which goes to the senate including the congress too. Then the executive branch discuss if they agree with it or not. If they like it it will go to the judicial branch where they check if it conflicts the constitution if it goes well they make it a law. In my opinion I think this idea of government is very interesting too me. I am really excited that were going to make a classroom government !!!
For my Let Grow I was reading about the ammonia and it says that we should not overfeed, excess leftovers in the tank, correct pH level and normal filtering for the fish. As well ammonia go straight to the gills where the fish inhale oxygen for the body it can cause damage to the fins, kidney, skin and growth. This may effect their swimming. The link on the website was very useful for me because now I have a better understanding of raising fish in the classroom.
Thank youu for sharing your thoughts. I really apprdeciate your efforts aand Iwiull be waiting for yur frther post thanks once again.

I was thinking about the elections and I wonted to know if I can make buttons to give out that say Vote for Ryan president and how big the banner should be so I know so I can make it. I think that is all thank you.
sincerely,
Ryan.Gogarty
Dear Ryan,
Being a proactive learner who asks questions about their learning will support you on your quest in becoming a life-long learner. In regards to our Class Election, you may create buttons and a campaign poster to encourage other students to vote for you. The size of the poster is up to you. However, remember to utilize your non-negotiables for writing when you compose your poster and campaign speech. Words are powerful and when communicated effectively, can have a positive influence in persuading others. I wish you the best of luck on this exciting endeavor!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Halloran
Dear Mr.Miller,
I was thinking about elections and I was thinking about being Supreme court judge and was not really sure what there job was. Can u tell me what there job is.
Dear Mr. Miller,
When you told me that in compass points I shouldn’t repeat I’m excited and so on, I really tried hard to make all of the cardinal directions the best. While I was at home I took the opportunity to create a better word to start my sentence, and it turned out great. I couldn’t have done this without the inspiration I received from Matthew six word novel. I really complement him for all the effort he’s putting in. Thank you Mr. Miller and Matthew for inspiring me to go to the optimum level.
Sincerely;
Emily Varghese
Dear Emily,
Your diligence and commitment are shining examples to your peers.

Dear Mr.Miller,
At first when I was learning to decompose a number it was confusing for me, but once I saw the whole picture I understood it. While I looking around the website I found how to decompose a number under the math videos section if any of my peer need help finding the link its right there. In the end my day was very enjoyable with all the new things I learned over the past few weeks I’ve been in your class.
Sincerely,
Emily Varghese
Dear Mr.Miller,
I was wondering since we have or had an vocabulary maybe every vocab. word we can have an activity for each word. For instance for “artifact” we could bring in an artifact either important to just you or multiple people. Please consider my idea and maybe if you concur with my idea of disagree we can all come up with new fun ideas that connect to what we shall learn or be learning.
Yours truly,
Naomi Amatuegwu
Dear Mr .Miller,
I think that the challenge in the morning about what the difference between knowledge and understanding was a great experience for me, because I received the chance to create ideas with my cohort. As well we went up to chime in and tell are understanding of the two words. In addition when we made a mistake we tried to fix the issue so were learning from what we did wrong. When listening to other cohort they gave more ideas for my cohort to think whether we concur with the other cohorts idea, this way we were developing deepen understanding.
Sincerely,
Emily Varghese
Dear Emily,
I agree with what you have stated and I would like to complement you on how wonderfly and beautifully you have stated the sentence(s). The way you have been using the website has been absolutely helpful and wonderful. I really encourage myself and other peers to use the website like you.
Dear Naomi,
Your idea is certainly one to investigate; perhaps you and your peers can further discuss this approach during a Challenge Session. In addition, I would like to thank you for the thoughtful comments you posted in regards to Emily’s thoughts; this is exactly how the blog should be utilized.
Sincerely,
Mr.Miller
Dear Emily,
I am pleased that you found the discussion between knowledge and understanding beneficial. Your thoughts demonstrate the importance of effort within our collaborative endeavors; keep being a wonderful example to your peers.

Mr. Millert
Dear Mr.Miller,
I am so happy was in your class last year. In Saxton we have went over some subjects you have tought us. It gave us a headstart from others.We all still think of you.
Does your class have states yet? If so who is in Harlowdignitylandia.
From, Madilyn.H
Dear Madilyn,
I am very pleased that you found your learning opportunities in fifth grade to have prepared you for your transition to Saxton. I am certain that your diligence will serve you well as you progress through the academic year.
As for the states, the students have started the process of understanding government and the state structures. As we move forward, they will continue to develop the structures that were created last year. Have a great week.
All the Best,
Mr. Miller
Dear Mr.Miller,
For my let grow I took the opportunity to deepen my understanding in government. I learned that there are three branches the legislative executive and judicial branch, and all of them have a job. The legislative branch is where the house of representatives create law which goes to the senate including the congress too. Then the executive branch discuss if they agree with it or not. If they like it it will go to the judicial branch where they check if it conflicts the constitution if it goes well they make it a law. In my opinion I think this idea of government is very interesting too me. I am really excited that were going to make a classroom government !!!
Dear Mr.Miller,
I wanted to know when are we doing elections for class president (etc.) . I am really excited about it! Please reply.
Dear Peyton,
We will be discussing the upcoming elections later this week.
Sincerely,
Mr. Miller
Dear Mr. Miller,
For my Let Grow I was reading about the ammonia and it says that we should not overfeed, excess leftovers in the tank, correct pH level and normal filtering for the fish. As well ammonia go straight to the gills where the fish inhale oxygen for the body it can cause damage to the fins, kidney, skin and growth. This may effect their swimming. The link on the website was very useful for me because now I have a better understanding of raising fish in the classroom.
Sincerely,
Emily Varghese
Dear Emily,
I am impressed by the initiative you have taken to develop your understanding of water chemistry during your Let Grow Day.
Sincerely,
Mr. Miller
