We officially have one week left of school! It's been a long year! One that I have greatly enjoyed because of the students I get to work with every day. They have worked hard and have made great gains with their reading skills, becoming more confident and fluent readers. I wish you all a relaxing and rejuvenating summer. Take time to have fun and enjoy the slower pace of the summer.

Google Classroom is used in my class as a way to share assignments and for students to turn in assignments. I also share resources and electronic activities on Google Classroom. When I am absent I will use Google Classroom to share my expectations for class that day and assignments to be worked on while I'm absent. I do not give grades to assignments on Google Classroom.

Grades for assignments and messages about retakes are posted to powerschool. Please reach out if you have a question about an assignment or any other grade related query.

My name is Christine Sorenson and this is my 17th year teaching at WMS. I live with my husband, our twelve-year-old daughter, our eight-year-old son, a Papillon pup named Moose, and my mother. A lot of our time is spent outside, enjoying swimming and playing sports. I’m an avid reader and enjoy reading a good suspense thriller. I am a third-generation teacher. My grandmother and mother were both teachers in Boston. I'm excited for the new year ahead!
