Welcome to Mr. D'Elia's Languages Art Class

I’m thrilled to be teaching 6th grade Language Arts. It is my goal the students learn skills and habits that will make them successful in everyday life. Reading and writing are two of my greatest passions and I hope to share that with my students. Each of these skills is essential for life-long learning. Not only does reading help us gather information to make informed decisions in life, but it is a source of enjoyment and personal fulfillment. Reading and learning to read well will be a major concentration in my class.

Writing helps in communication and is a crucial skill that can aid the student both personally and professionally. Writing makes us better thinkers. It not only helps us convey our thoughts, but it helps us to think clearly and logically. Students that read and write well will be successful in school, in career, and in life.

"REMIND"

To keep you informed about upcoming quizzes, tests, and other important information, I will be using "Remind." "Remind" is a texting service that allows me, the teacher, to send out group texts. If your child is enrolled in my class, you should be automatically enrolled in Remind.

AGENDA

Each day's agenda will be written on the board. It can also be found by going to the "calendar" on my website.

The agenda includes all that will occur in class as well as any homework the students might be assigned that day. I highly suggest students get in the habit of keeping a personal agenda, be it digital or paper. Google classroom is not always used for assignments, and many times practice work are given in Google Classroom.


PARENTS

I believe that a child's parent is their first and most influential teacher, and I'd like to communicate with the parents as often as possible. If you or your child would like to conference with me, I'd be happy to set up an appointment that works for both of us.


TUTORIALS

To be announced after the first week of school.
