6th Grade English Itinerary

It's a new year and the excitement for learning is in the air! The 6th Grade has so many wonderful projects going and I just wanted to share what we have done so far (in two weeks of September) and what the plan is for the upcoming fall season.

In English Language Arts, the class is learning every aspect of the English language: writing, reading, grammar, spelling and vocabulary.

Reading workshop has been a class favorite. We've learned how to identify facts in our reading, as well as how the facts parlay into ideas through which the author builds his/her literary artwork. In writing workshop, we have been practicing simple compositions in class and have a thorough program lined up to help students improve this area of communication.

In grammar class, we have already learned about all sorts of nouns and how to identify and apply them in sentences.

This coming October, students will learn how to research a topic and put together quality writing that gives said research in the clearest and most interesting way.

Vocabulary work is being done daily, with an interactive review game and quiz every few units.

There's a lot more to come, so please stay tuned to this post!

Best Wishes,

Mendel Berlin
