Welcome!!!

Welcome to English 9 and 11!

I am looking forward to sharing this year with you!  I hope you will find this blog to be both informative and helpful in terms of your English success.  My plan is to update this blog once a day with important information about class, upcoming events, and homework.  I hope you will all use this to your benefit!

For an early, and easy, extra-credit opportunity, please write me a comment (the comment option is at the bottom of this entry).  Having your comments will let me know that everyone can access this page successfully.  You may write whatever you'd like, but please remember that all comments are public.  If you ever need to contact me otherwise, please email ahuinker@decoah.k12.ia.us  This is an email I check constantly, so I will make every effort to get back to you as soon as I can.

Homework - All Classes:  Finish the "Getting to Know Me" worksheet if you weren't done in class.

I hope that all of you had a great first day of school!  Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Thanks,

Mrs. Huinker
