Sixth Grade Writing

Spelling: The spelling list will be posted in classroom.google every Friday. Spelling test will normally be on the following Friday, for the exception during six weeks tests. There will not be a spelling test.

 

Parts of Speech/Writing:  We will be studying parts of speech to help your child understand how the English language is put together.  We will then learn to write compositions that will begin to prepare them for the 7th grade Writing STAAR.

 

Classroom Rules:  Since we cover materials at a fast past, we need the following rules to be followed so that all students can be successful.

  • Follow ALL rules the first time
  • Do not interrupt my teaching, your learning, or other’s learning
  • Keep your hands, feet, and objects to yourself
  • Arrive to class on time with all required materials
Note:  Students need to follow school policy and technology etiquette.
