Welcome to the Honors English 9 Blog!

Hello!

I am so excited to start this year with you.  This blog exists because while students can access all classwork and information through Google Classroom, parents cannot.  Therefore, I post our daily learning targets, slides, and homework on this blog so that everyone can access it.  Check here often and email me if you have questions!
