It is a wonderful year for incoming freshmen for English. We will be taking the first few days to begin creating our community and present classroom expectations and content. For the rest of the year, we will be rigorously covering vocabulary, grammar, writing and reading. As students are learning new content and skills, they may encounter difficulties. It is essential that they come to me for help. I am available by appointment for individual or small group help. DO NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING LESS THAN UNDERSTANDING AND MASTERY OF THE CONTENT. Often, it is a one or two minute meeting that helps a struggling student understand and get back on track.
