Class,

I hope you have enjoyed this long weekend.

Last week we got a lot of housekeeping details in order, but this week we begin our normal routines. It was great meeting all of you, and I look forward to getting to know you better as the year progresses. Thank you for sharing your stories and interests with me; I know it isn’t always easy to open up to a stranger.

This week we will be using our SSR text and our binders. Please be sure to have all materials when you come to class. I would hate for you to fall behind already. If you have any questions about what we’ll be doing this week or what is on the material list, e-mail me at brewers@dearbornschools.org, or double check the syllabus under the “Class Info” link at the top of this homepage.

See you on Tuesday!

This is the iBlog Teacher Website for Mr. Brewer. I teach 9th grade English Language Arts at Fordson High School. This is where I will post weekly updates about what is happening in class.
