Welcome
to Mrs. Gregory's
LANGUAGE ARTS PAGE
2009
This site is
designed to help you access assignments, learning targets and
suggested activities for my classes. Look for information under the
HOMEWORK tab to learn about daily work, upcoming major
assignments and assessments.
SPRINGBOARD This is
the third year that the Peninsula School District has
used the Springboard curriculum in our middle school
language arts classrooms. This program is designed to prepare all
students for success in high school and college, by encouraging
reading, writing, critical thinking and reasoning skills.
GRADES I am
using a weighted gradebook this year. Quizzes and homework
will be 25% and reading assessments and writing assignments
are considered summative assessments and will be 75% of a students
grade. Work is due on the date assigned. Daily work will not be taken late unless you are
absent. Major assessments will be taken late, but they will
be marked down 10% for each day after the due date. All grades can
be accessed online through Parent Connect. Please register in the
office.
LIBRARY We visit the
library each week and all students are expected to have a library
book in class every day. They will be recording a written response
to each day's independent reading. Students finish in-class
assignments at different rates and a book insures that each
student's time is used productively.
ATTENDANCE Regular attendance is
very important for success. Assignments and documents are posted
but most
quizzes and collaborative activities may
not be made up.
