English ClassesMs. Priester teaches English 9 and 10 during the traditional academic year, but she also teaches English 11 and 12 during intersession.
All English classes are blended learning environments. Each begins with a class meeting that takes place in the classroom lounge, a circle of small chairs and cushions. After, students work independently, in pairs, or in small groups to complete learning tasks with the support of individual Chromebooks and Google Apps for Education. Students are supported through technology and face-to-face interventions from Ms. Priester, Mr. Viligea, and Ms. Mendez. |
