Welcome to 6th grade Language Arts/Reading! This is going to be a 1 hour 30 minute block session in which we will cover reading, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, speaking, and writing! Don’t panic, the class will receive a break in between classes and other breaks as necessary. Although this is a demanding time on your brain, you will get out what you put in, so I encourage you to stay on task and challenge yourself daily.
Reading assignments/ Independent Reading Projects:
Students must read independently each night to build fluency and comprehension skills. Each student is expected to be reading one book at their reading level and interest per term outside of what is assigned in reading class. Students will have the opportunity to check these out through the media center and will be encouraged to read these during down time during the day as well as S.S.R.(Super Silent Reading) in common time. A book report and AR test based on this book will be due at the end of each term. There may be other outside assignments to complete as well. However, most work will be completed in class with appropriate use of work time.
