Let The Summer Begin!

Hello Scholars!

I am so excited to spend the next seven weeks with you! I hope you are all ready to begin your writing journey! 

We will use this blog in a variety of ways. I will post homework assignments, reminders, tips for success in the course and for strong writing, as well as links to helpful resources. 

I may also post about what we are doing in class so that you can share it with your parents and friends. 

Lastly, I may post pieces of your writing (with your permission) to share with others the amazing work that you are doing. 

This is just the beginning to your journey of hard work, dedication, perseverance, and success! 

- Ms. Ireland
