Reading and Language Arts

I'm Glad You're Here!

Hello families,

Students have been doing a great job of reading Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, and I appreciate their efforts to finish chapters at home. Thank you students and families for this time and effort! By the end of the week, students will be at the halfway point in the novel. There will be interim STAAR testing a few days this week, so we will only read chapters 5 and 6 this week.

Families, if you have any questions along the way, please email me at kcain@iltexas.org. Thank you!

Have a great week,

Kristen Cain

Grades: Grades will be updated by end of day Saturday each week.

Welcome to RLA!

Hello students and families! I look forward to supporting all of my students in their reading and writing this year. This is my seventh year teaching sixth grade RLA, and my third year at ILTexas. In my free time, I enjoy running, reading history and biographies, and volunteering in town. One fun fact about me is that otters are my favorite animal!
