Welcome to 7th grade English Language Arts and English 1!

My name is Dorothy Hrncir, and I am excited to be working at Colony Middle School again this year. I have taught various subject areas in our district for many years. At Colony Middle, I will be teaching Language Arts and English 1. As a parent, I understand the importance of knowing what your child does in class. I will post every week in Google Classroom an announcement about what we did for the week. I encourage you to login to the Google Classroom with your student to stay abreast of classroom happenings.

The best way to contact me is by email:   dorothy.hrncir@matsuk12.us

I encourage you to contact me with any questions or concerns as I want to keep the lines of communication open. I will do my best to return all emails promptly.

What your student needs to bring to class:

   - Pencils (We will be doing a lot of writing)

   - A personal book for reading (Library visits will happen in class)

   - Note cards for collecting vocabulary/cultural literacy terms

 Google Classroom Codes: 

English 1: alxtlbv

Advanced 7th ELA: mcapd2w
