Welcome, parents and students, to Intensive Reading 2008-2009!

I'm excited about the possibilities of growth for all of my students in the areas of reading and writing this year.
I will record my daily agenda at schoolnotes.com. Checking the agenda can help you plan for tests and assist you with make-up after an absence.

This class wiki is to be used for class:

• Quick Writes
• Connection Writing
• Challenges

The use of technology is an important way to engage students to become actively involved in learning.
