Hello, my scholarly teens.

I'm MIA again! Top-secret mission and whatnot (union stuff). In my absence, you shall accomplish great things. Namely, Reading Comp 2. So after your Beloved Sub has shown you a couple short background videos, grab a Chromebook, go to Google Classroom, finish all the links under Reading Comp Day 1 (many of you are already done), and move on to Reading Comp Day 2!

Don't open, close, and re-open quizzes, alright? I get an email if you do that, and it makes it look like you were cheating!

Also, be excellent.

Love,

Ms. Carlson
