Honors 11 English
***News Flash***
--Silent Sustained Reading: In order to increase students' interest in reading, I've instituted a portion of every other class where students are given the opportunity to read something that they choose. Students are encouraged to bring a book or magazine from home to read. I will also be taking the students to the school library every two to three weeks to find something that interests them.
***Have any current magazines at home you want to get rid of? Please consider donating them to my class.
--Parent Portal: Check up on your child's progress by logging on to Parent Portal HERE. Don't have a log on or user id? Click HERE for instructions from Hampton City School's Webpage.
