For 4thQuarter, 6th graders will be reading Ghost by Jason Reynolds. Ghost tells the story of Castle Cranshaw, a troubled youth who is trying to cope with a traumatic childhood. When he joins the Defenders track team, he learns that he does not have to let his past define him.
The 4th Quarter gets rolling after Spring Break.
The word fun in Quarter 4 focuses on analogies. We'll have a weekly quiz with a summative at the end of the quarter.
We'll explore fiction this quarter, with some classes having book clubs and others exploring short stories. However, everyone has a unit on poetry that teaches the effect of various poetic forms and structures on the poem's meaning.
We're excited to take some students to see the school's musical production of The Wizard of Oz. There are only 180 tickets available in this webstore on a first-come, first-served basis.
