Sixth grade is a pivotal year. We work hard to prepare students for 7th grade and the entire middle school environment. We want them to be successful as they continue their educational journey.
In 6th grade, we will read and write often. We will enjoy fiction and non-fiction books as well as news articles and historical documents. Please help us develop competent readers by making sure your child reads every day at home for 30 minutes. What they read isn't as important as the reading itself, so magazines of interest or the newspaper comics are also acceptable. Graphic novels seem to interest many young people. Perhaps because of the pictures, but they tell a story, contain words, and require students to follow a sequence of events.
I'm very excited about the learning that happens in 6th grade. We have fun activities planned and we are looking forward to a productive year.
