Hello all and I hope all is well! An e-mail was sent home about grade changing for the fourth marking period. I wanted to update you on what our class will be doing for the fourth marking period. Grades will now be 65% Major Assessments and 35% Minor Assessments. Grades for marking periods 1, 2 and 3, will remain the 80% Major Assessment and 20% Minor Assessments. Also, there will not be a final exam. With all of this being said, students will have 3 Major Assessments this marking period. The second major assessment is posted under the English 9/English 9 Honors tab. The students have access to all of this information through Google Classroom as well.

If anyone wants to set up a one on one Google Meet with me, please reach out so I can set that up. Your children also have that same option as well as my Q&A sessions each week.

Be Well! As always, if there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me!

Hello all and I hope all is well! Yesterday and today I have introduced Book Clubs to the students. I uploaded YouTube videos to help the students throughout the process as well. The details to the unit and and the supplemental materials can be found on this website under the correlating tabs. That information is the same information the students have on their Google classroom. It would be great if even more conversations happened at home about the books they are reading.

I have been holding live sessions twice a week for all my classes. I will continue to do this. Each week I will post the live meeting times and the link. After much consideration, the days and times, will vary based on the assignments for the week. I like to plan the live sessions based around the assignments for the week.

Stay well! I miss all my kiddos!

Hey Everyone! Typically I do not post the assignments on my webpage, but I felt like the assignment they are doing today and that period 4 will be doing tomorrow is important for everyone to know abut. So here it is!

Okay All - I want you to view the video that is in your Daily Announcements, "Rooted in Love". REALLY pay attention to it. Really THINK about it. Then I want you to do to what Zoey and I did. Over the weekend, Zoey and I walked around town and wrote messages on the sidewalk so that people could stay positive during this kind of crazy time. Your job is to pick something. Anything. Make it positive. Take a picture of it. Maybe you write a nice letter to one of your parents. Spend time with your younger sibling. Write a positive message with chalk. Whatever positive thing you are doing, do it, take a picture of it and post it here as a comment. If you post it as a comment, everyone can see. If you don't want everyone to see it submit it and then just I will see it.

Hello to all my students and families!

After day one of remote learning, I feel as though I have already worked through a few kinks. Tomorrow, Wednesday, March 18th, at 9:00 am, I will release the attendance, agenda and the documents for each of the classes I will be meeting. Additionally, I have linked a screencastify message, with a step by step video for the entire process. Hopefully, this assists with any uneasiness that may still be felt with with the work and process.

As always, email me if you have any questions or concerns. Stay healthy! #MakeGoodDecisions.
