VK English
Period 2 Monday Wednesday Friday
Welcome!
In this class we will read, WRITE, think, imagine, be curious, explore ideas, ask questions, find answers and solve problems. I know that you have a lot of great ideas, insights and experiences to share.
Don't worry if you think you are not good at reading or writing. You are here to learn! You don't have to be great at something to do it, and even enjoy it . Of course, the more you do something, naturally the better you will become.
