Welcome to Mrs. Sexton's web site! Click one of the links in the left margin to access other pages in this site. Students, please check the Daily Work page for your class and hour if you are absent. You should see me if you have any questions. Parents, the Daily Work pages are a great way to see what your child has been doing in class. The Notes and Handouts pages have some information presented and/or handed out in class. You may have to scroll down to find the information since items may be added daily. I've added an ACT Practice page where I will post helpful information and links to the ACT website.
{june clip art} Vacation Reminder: Don't get rusty over the long, well-deserved summer break. Read and write daily--whether it is a journal, a letter, or a poem--texting does not count! Have a wonderful and safe summer. Remember, if I can be of any assistance next year, please stop by my classroom. Take care.
