Summer Work 7/13/2020

Dear incoming tenth graders,

Upon reflection and discussion, your tenth grade teachers have opted NOT to assign summer work for LA3 and LA3 Honors.  During normal times, we work with your ninth grade teachers to prep you for summer work through explanation of protocols, assignments, and materials.  We also field questions so that you leave school comfortable and prepared for summer work.  None of this was done due to the abrupt ending of the school year. As ninth and tenth grade expectations are dramatically different, we’re opting out of summer work.   

Parent Survey 6/8/2020

Dear Parents, We’ve already asked so much of you, and I want you to know how grateful I am for your support and all the communication. You have been instrumental in your child’s success, and if it weren’t for you, my job would have been impossible. My children are grown, and quite frankly I can’t imagine life with a teenager under these circumstances. I appreciate you today more than I ever have. The district is wanting your opinion for the start of next school year, and that’s what the survey below is about. I know it is one more thing, but once again, we can’t proceed without you. Thank you, Maggie Kraft

Dear students, I hope this message finds you safe and well. Please look for more opportunities on Google Classroom after our spring break next week. Enjoy. Take some time to relax. I plan on walking the dog more, doing yard work on the nice days, and reading. I miss you all so much! Stay calm and share positivity with your family. Keep the faith. MK

IF YOU NEED TO BORROW A CHROMEBOOK, PLEASE EMAIL ME AND I’LL ADD YOU TO THE LIST. MK

Students, for the next few weeks, we will continue to practice the essential learning standards we have been working on in class.  This includes reading comprehension of fiction and nonfiction, writing and reasoning, as well as grammar skills. In addition to the reading assignments below, please continue practicing grammar skills by visiting Khan Academy Reading and Writing.  

The following assignments will be posted in google classroom as well as here with due dates. IF you can not access google classroom, answers may be emailed with name, hour, and story title in the subject line. Email answers ONLY if you can not access google classroom as my in box is currently being bombarded by district and administrative directives and protocols as we try to figure things out. Do not panic; this represents 3 weeks of assignments and due dates.
