Hope this will help. I am trying to keep each class separate to make it easier for everyone to find what they need!

Welcome Back!
I hope everyone had a great summer, it seemed to go very fast this year. Each year goes a little faster, seniors, you will be shocked at how fast this year goes by.
I will try to update this every day with information about assignments from class and pictures/project information as we go along.
We are also going to be creating a creative writing blog and a reading blog. I will post links to them as soon as they are up and running.

End of year
It is hard to believe that it is the end of the year and I will not have you in my classroom again until you are seniors. I hope high school is great and I also hope you have a great summer.
Remember: if you haven't turned in your research papers, make sure you do.
Also, your minis need to be handed in before the last day of school.
