Welcome to Ms. Schickling's Language Arts 4 blog. This is where you will be able to find what the class is doing everyday. When you are absent, check the blog to see what you missed. From there, turn in any homework into the folder and take any handouts from the monthly file.

Congrats on making it through the first week of your final year of high school! We will spend a little more time getting to know each other towards the beginning of the week. Then we will be starting our Beowulf unit. Remember, you will need a SSR book starting Monday.
