Hello and welcome to the Frenship Ninth Grade Center for the 2024-2025 school year. This is my fifth and as many of you know with the creation of the new high school last year at the NGC. I will be going into my 26th year in education. I have been a ninth grade English teacher for most of these years simply because I love teaching freshmen students!

 

Please look over the information on this page. Please look through this website to answer any questions you might have concerning the Pre-AP English I course for this year.  I have also already put up a listing of the necessary supplies for this year as well as a list of the needed reading materials for those enrolled in the Pre-AP English I course. 

 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns at [email protected]. 

 

Want to get schools supplies and books for Pre-AP taken care of? Well, here is the list of supplies needed for this year:

Daily need:

1. 5-subject Five Star spiral (this brand is suggested since it can create flashcards over notes)
2. College-ruled notebook paper (to put into folder)
3. Blue or black ink pens (written work will be completed in pen NOTpencil)
4. Two-pocket folder with brads (will be provided to you unless you want your own)

5. Lined note cards and/or sticky notes (3x5 or 4x6 note card and 3x3 sticky notes)
6. Access to colored pencils and glue stick

Novels for the year: Animal Farm by George Orwell and Night – Elie Wiesel 

Other reading will be either online in Schoology or inside of class textbook.

 

            *RECOMMENDED – ear buds/headphones versus air pods

            *Donation needs: blue ink pens, skinny Expo markers, additional LARGE index cards, and Kleenex boxes.

Syllabus information can be accessed in three locations. There is a PDF copy as well as QR code here on the website. Students can also access the syllabus through Schoology in the Course Information folder.
