Welcome
to Mrs. Gregory's
LANGUAGE ARTS PAGE
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 fourth 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. The Springboard text will be available by units in the
"documents" section of this website.
GRADES I am using a
weighted gradebook this year. Quizzes and homework will be
30% and reading assessments and writing assignments are
considered summative assessments and will be 70% of a students
grade. Work is due on the date assigned. Daily work will not
be taken late
unless you are absent. Major assessments may be turned in
late, but they will be marked down 10% for each day after the due
date and they must be turned in with a parent signature on the late
slip. All grades can be accessed online through Parent Portal.
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.
