Hello, Adams Family!
I hope that you are all doing well and that you are staying healthy! We are certainly going through some unexpected twists and turns, but my goal is to provide each of my students with as much instruction as possible so that they can stay busy and learn some new exciting things!
Please note that these activities are aligned with grade level expectations and can be completed at home!
I will happily answer questions via Email, Google Hangouts, or a phone call. Below, I have provided a link with my email information. If you have questions or would like additional resources, please feel free to reach out!
I will be updating this website regularly for parents to see what assignments are up and coming. For your students: I have created a Google Classroom for each grade level. Please have your student use their Adams email to add into my class with the link that I have provided in each of their grade level categories.
For students who may not have internet access or have limited access: Please let me know if you would like printed resources. If you have already contacted the school and have let them know that you do NOT have internet at home, I've already put together a packet for your student.
My email: [email protected]

Hey there, 7th grade!
We got the majority of the way through reading Jack London’s Call of the Wild as a class. I’ve posted the link for you to finish reading the book. We left off on Chapter Five, however if you’d like to backtrack and read the book over (we’ve been out of school for quite a while!) please feel welcome to do so. Here is the link to the text: http://literatureproject.com/call-of-the-wild/index.htm
Here is a link to the YouTube audiobook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_7NQjORD-4&list=PLVuRdoIItQC9ER0sqT4CTUV1uu7pi1JDK
Please finish reading the book and write a short reflection on your reading. Another idea for reflection might be drawing a picture, writing a song, or even just doodling out your thoughts. Reflect in some way on what you read! I'll be posting to our google classroom asking you for your (short) reflection!
