Dear Students & Families,
I hope you've been able to safely enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend. With all the continued uncertainty and unrest in our country and city, I recognize that this time is stressful, unsettling, and scary. Please know that I'm always thinking about my students and our Amundsen families, and I'm here to support you!
Now more than ever, the voices and stories of our amazing students need to be heard! I'm looking forward to reading and providing feedback on personal narratives early this week. Students, who turned their drafts in on Friday or over the weekend, can expect feedback by Tuesday. Those who need more time, I will happily grant extensions, but please understand that your feedback may be delayed to later in the week.
I can't wait to see how students finalize their stories this week! Remember: the deadline for the final draft and all previous work is Monday, June 8th.
What comes next? After Monday, June 8th, students can still engage and extend their learning until the end of the school year. I am posting a creative project that is extra credit and due June 11th. Our last Google Meets session will be Thursday, June 11th and our last optional book club will be Friday, June 12th.
This won't be the last time you'll hear from me. I will send out suggestions for summer reading/learning for those families and students interested. However, this will be the last week of lesson plans and graded work for the school year.
It's been an honor and privilege to teach my students and partner with the families this year. Please reach out with questions and concerns. Stay safe, everyone!
