Welcome to Grade Sixth Language Arts

Students will be using Google and Google classroom this year. Above is an informative video to help answer any questions you may have. I will be walking the children through how to use as well. Many of their assignments will be done through google classroom this year.
 NEWS:
We are have completed our Biography Unit and our research paper!  We have begun our Myth Unit and students are reading "Helios." 

We have also begun DRA assessment. This is where I listen to your child read and then assess their reading level based on their fluency, ability to answer questions and write about a text.
​
Spelling quizzes will happen every Friday on full weeks (not on weeks with a Word of the Day Quiz). Words are assigned on Monday.

Vocabulary quizzes will happen after 10 Word of the Day Words. Word of the Day words are introduced each class period.
