6th grade ELA students are starting their Greek Mythology Unit.  Our 3rd quarter novel is "The Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan.  Be sure to ask what God or Goddess was assigned to them for their "1st Person Greek Mythology Project."

In Mrs. Lesko and Mrs. Sullivan's classes, students are finishing up book clubs. Book clubs offer students choice over what they read and promote independent reading and discussion of the story's plot. Other classes are focusing on reading the novel, Freak the Mighty. During this unit students are focusing on theme, conflict, plot and characterization. During 3rd quarter, students will also focus on nonfiction text structures and argument writing.
