This year we are focusing on the new Minnesota English Language Arts 6th Grade Standards.  Minnesota adopted these new standards in 2020.  For an in-depth look at the standards, Grade Reading Standards, click here!

Our spelling words will come from our Wordly Wise book (our vocabulary book).  We will spend two weeks on each list of words.  For the first week, everyone will take the spelling test Friday.  

📝If students get 100% on the first week's test, they do not need to take the test the second week, but will receive extra credit if they to take it again.  

📝If students get 80%-99% right on the first week's test, they will have a choice of taking the test again the second week.  

📝If students get less than 80% right on the first week's test, they will need to take it again the second week.  We will follow this same pattern over the course of the school year.  

 To study our weekly words, the students will receive a list of 72 different ways to practice their spelling words.  Students must complete four activities each week.  Each activity is worth 5 points.  Work will be complete in their spelling notebooks.  Notebooks will then be handed in on Fridays for grading.
