Final Day


We have come to the final day your 6th Grade Digital Literacy adventure. Hopefully, the things we have worked on this trimester will benefit you throughout the rest of your school year. I'll see you again in class next year as 7th Graders. Have a wonderful rest of the school year.

Mr. Madson

p.s. Your task today is to clean your room. I will be checking with each of you to make sure your Deep Portage project is saved in a safe location and any extra files or images (funny cats) are deleted.
