***E-Learning Plans-Seventh Graders, make sure to check Schoology and your email. Specific plans will be posted by 9:00 AM if DGFMS is having an e-learning day.

My name is Kimberly Waale, and I teach seventh-grade language arts. I am a high-school graduate of Goodrich, ND, a college graduate of VCSU, and I received my Master's Degree in Literacy from MSUM.

My teaching experience includes three years in Kenmare, ND, one in Dilworth, MN, nine years at DGF high school, eight years in Floodwood, MN, and currently I will be starting my fifteenth year at DGFMS.

Reading, writing, and speaking are integral to any future position in the work force; therefore, every day in language arts, we emphasize each of those components of the language-arts curriculum.
