English 9 Class Notes
Fourth freshmen, you did much the same as first and third did yesterday; check their notes for objectives and details. Many of you (more of you even than your first and third colleagues) completed your homework before the end of the period leaving you free of English worry over your break. The rest of you, and your peers period 1 and 3, please attend your work for Monday. Details are on your class page.
A note for all freshmen, I’ve said it many times before but it’s worth a mention again: If you’re not happy with your grade or your effort or your choices, you can change. As we head into the last nine weeks of your year, you have the ability to ensure your own success and maybe salvage your first year in English. I hope you accept the challenge of making the rest of this year a success.
Have a great break.
