English w/Kovach > Week 9

Good Monday Morning, Roadrunners!

Welcome to day one of Fall Break! I hope you all have something relaxing planned for your students. They have been working hard and are in need of a well deserved break!

We finished reading Animal Farm; it was a super quick read. The class wanted to finish the book before going to break. We will discuss and review the week we return. I’m eager to hear their impressions and analysis. It might not be a bad idea for them to refresh their minds a bit, or for those who didn’t fully read it, to look through it again.

After break, I have plans for us to read A Walk in the Woods, but we do not have copies as of yet. I went ahead and created a Donors Choose project specifically for this class. I just received an email from them this weekend that all donations are currently being doubled. It is only for a limited time though. If you have any questions, please reach out. Feel free to share with your friends, family and your social media page. 🙂

English I Honors Takes a Walk in the Woods

Required Book Talks: You may recall me explaining that each student was to read a book this first quarter that was at least 250 pages in length. This was introduced in the first week of school. It was also something I mentioned on a weekly basis. This reading and then taking part in a “book talk” with me were required to be completed by last Wednesday. With so many kids behind, I gave them until Friday to meet with me. There were still a large number of students that did not read a book at all, so they received 0 out of 100 points. I suggested that they get on top of reading their next book for quarter 2 over break. I just wanted you all to be aware in case you noticed a large drop in their grade recently.

I believe that is everything for now. I am heading up to Flagstaff for the week and will be away from my phone. Please enjoy your break.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Best,

Ms. Kovach
