Please check your student’s planner for the most up-to-date information. Sometimes our plans change, and we may be on a different lesson than originally scheduled.

Reminder on Late/Not Completed Work

Any work/homework not completed/turned in by the required deadline (a week after assigned) will be marked as HALF credit.
I strongly encourage students to ask questions during independent work time in class, Work Period, and to email with questions so that they have every opportunity to complete their homework and have their questions answered.
Late work must be completed by the term late work due date to receive half credit, after that assignments will be marked as zero in the gradebook.

Programs We Will Use This Year

Amplify ELA

This year, our students are stepping into a rigorous, exciting English Language Arts curriculum called Amplify ELA. This program builds strong readers, writers, and critical thinkers by diving into fascinating texts and real-world debates.

Here is a breakdown of what your child will learn and how you can support them at home.

What Students Learn

Deep Reading: Students analyze complex texts rather than just skimming for plot.
Evidence-Based Writing: Writing focuses on using specific details from texts to prove a point.
Collaborative Debates: Class discussions encourage students to share ideas and challenge perspectives.

Digital Tools: Students use an interactive digital platform for vocabulary, reading, and writing.

How to Help at Home

Ask Big Questions: Instead of "How was school?", ask "What text did you debate today?"
Check the Progress: Have your child log into Amplify to show you their recent writing feedback.
Encourage Independent Reading: Reading anything for 20 minutes a day drastically boosts vocabulary.
