Language Arts
Welcome to 6th/7th grade language arts class.
This year we will be implementing the common core state standards in all language arts classes. We will continue to implement the Lucy Caulkins writing program which we began a few years ago. This writing program allows rigorous instruction in narrative, informative and argument writing. I am hopeful that we will continue to see vast improvements in our students' writing.
Please talk to your child often about his/her grade, and know that I am available after school to provide help if needed. I'm here most days until around 4:00.
Students will be assigned one book project each quarter. During first quarter, students will be completing a book evaluation. A copy of the assignment can be downloaded from the link below. The first quarter book evaluation will be due on Friday, October 4.
Unit 1 will consist of several stories from the textbook and a novel and narrative writing. Please make sure your student is reading every day.
