Welcome to 6th Grade ELA!!
The more that you read,
the more things you will know.
The more that you learn,
the more places you'll go.

Our Weekly Routine
With weekly rituals in place, you can arrive to class knowing exactly what to expect! (This takes some of the guesswork out of school!) Here's our general plan for each week.
Mondays:
Introduce Mind Bender and Word of the Week
Wordly Wise
Grammar Mini-lesson on a weekly Focus Topic
(If time, work on novel/project/current unit.)
Tuesdays:
Quote of the Week
Journal in Response to Quote
Novel/Play/Short Story/Project Work
Wednesdays: VOCABULARY DAY!
Weeks alternate between new lists and "quests" (bigger than a quiz, smaller than a test) on the previous week's list.
Thursdays: Writing Workshop Day
We work on writing (MCAS Open Response, stories, poems, etc.)
Fridays: I Love Reading Day!
Teacher reads aloud from Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone
Journal writing based on Harry Potter reading & independent reading
S.S.R. (Sustained Silent Reading): Students read books of their choice
