I look forward to a year filled with fun, interesting stories, and lively discussions. Never be afraid to ask questions, offer your ideas or insight, and comment on the variety of learning activities we will be doing this year.
Each student will also need a composition book to be used as a Writer’s Notebook. I can supply you with one if needed.
