6A Team Site - Mr. Hanson

I am excited to teach ELA this year! Throughout the year, we will focus on parts of speech, grammar, and vocabulary. Additionally, we will read engaging short stories and a few novels (at least two). By doing so, we will examine plot and sentence structure, with the goal of improving essay writing.

Starting on September 22nd, I will be offering extra help on Monday afternoons from 2:45 to 3:30.

If you're a parent/guardian and a concern arises, please message me via ParentSquare.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mr. Hanson
