Welcome to 6th Grade English Language Arts!
The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technological subjects were adopted by the New York State Education Department on July 19, 2010. The creation, adoption, and implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is a state-led effort to ensure that all students, despite their location, receive equal education opportunities.
I will be following the Common Core Learning Standards and adopting them within my curriculum. Students will also be using the vocabulary series, Wordly Wise 3000, as well as READY CCLS workbook. My students will be learning Common Core critical reading and writing skills, along with vocabulary instruction throughout this school year.
