Ms. Heller’s ELA Classes

Happy Friday, Students: We are now at the end of Week 1 of Digital Learning Days!  I hope this post finds you well and safe.  ELA students continue to work on their assignments from the USA Test Prep site.  It has been suggested by other teachers on the web, that students should make up a daily schedule for themselves to carve out time to work on school assignments.  We have a lot going on in our world and it is easy to let hours and days slip away.  Only you will know if a schedule will work for you. I would like to welcome Kari'sma and Sanaya to USA Test Prep.  Four students worked on this platform yesterday. Next week, we will be moving away from USA Test Prep and we will begin our unit on The Highwayman.  Stay tuned . . . this is a good one!

Good Morning, Students - I hope that you and your families are well.  Today is Wednesday of week one of Corona Virus School Shut Down (CVSSD) and I hope you are not getting bored at home.  Continue to work on the folder of 10 Poetry Assignments on USA Test Prep.  Thank you for working on USA Test Prep, yesterday:  Ya'zuri, Alexa, and Lia.  Every morning I receive an email that tells me who worked on USA Test Prep the previous day, and how many assignments they completed.  If you have ANY problems with getting your work or using USA Test Prep, please email me.  I check my email several times a day. Stay Safe, Ms. Heller
