Students, Posted on Thursday, March 19, 2020
From this point on, I will be posting all announcements, communications, and assignments on the new "Remote Learning" page of this website. Start days, schedules, and assignments will be posted there for all classes, and this page will become active again once we resume classes at Ardrey Kell. There is already one new post on Google Classroom!
Talk soon,
Mr. Mercado

Curriculum NightLast night's curriculum night was a blur. Teachers have eight minutes to race through a semester's worth of information. In case you missed Curriculum Night, or if I did not finish my presentation, I'm attaching the presentation here. It lacks narration, but the bones are good.
Foundations
This first semester course prepares students enrolled in the ninth grade for transition to high school from middle school while establishing a foundation for the English I course in the second semester. Students learn study skills, learning styles, decision making skills, reading strategies, and career planning to better prepare them for the rigor of high school work. At Ardrey Kell, the course’s primary focus is to prepare students for the demands of the English I curriculum that all foundations students will take in the second semester. Additionally, students can expect to read as many as three novels from the CMS approved list. Honors
This course is for students who have excelled in language arts beyond grade level. Committed scholars must be prepared to efficiently and effectively produce a significant amount of outside work in order to maximize their critical thinking skills and writing talents. Student will draw on an established mastery of language arts, reading, and writing in order to analyze, deconstruct, critique, and discuss literature by confidently participating in rhetoric, discourse, and expository composition. During the course of the year, honors students should anticipate two to four pieces of challenging literature. A very high standard of performance and respective assessment is uniformly expected.

Homeroom
Welcome, Class of 2023! I've just said goodbye to my class of 2019 seniors after four years with them. That means that I'm welcoming freshmen into a new homeroom. The start is typically slow, but the goal is to develop relationships that matter. Homeroom students should use this page to sign up for Knight Time, find links to information pertinent to AK, and keep current with Homeroom responsibilities.
