Welcome to the 2016-17 School Year

Welcome! 

Me, Mrs. Ordway

First, let me introduce myself, my name is  Mrs. Ordway and I can't wait to get the chance to know you. This year we will be going on quite a few literary adventures.  We will be delving into the world of nonfiction in ERWC, trying our best to understand how the American Dream was created and if the dream was meant for everyone in Designing the American Dream, and lastly we will explore British, American and World literature in Honors 9th grade.



Something new this year for Designing the American Dream and Honors English 9 is the creation of student blogs. Working on your own blog will allow you to find your voice in a positive atmosphere and creating a lasting and meaningful connection in the digital world. Also, I hope to start a Podcast this year, but I'll definitely need your help to get this going! I'm new to the whole creating and maintaining podcasts.


So, here we go, the start of a new year. Let's do this--we're in it together.



The start of a brand new school year is where you get the chance to reinvent who you are. There is something wonderfully exciting about the start of a new school year--the possibilities are truly open. It's like getting a new pair of shoes--the shoes have yet to take you to new places, adventures or simply guide you home. The possibilities are endless.

I hope that as we beign our school year and get to know each other you see a teaher who not only hopes to engage you academically, but someone who cares about you--the person.

Let the fun begin!
