Welcome to the website for my English classes. The purpose of this site is to keep the lines of communication open among my students, their parents, and me. I hope that you will find much useful information here. My classes will cover many areas including literature, reading, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and writing. In addition, we will also focus on organizational skills, cooperative learning, and listening and speaking skills. Please follow the links to the particular class in which you are interested: Pre-AP English I ( ninth grade accelerated English) or English II (tenth grade English). You will find additional links to other pages on the web which you may find helpful. Please read the Parent Letter by clicking the link to the left. It contains some important information about my class.
