Welcome to 6th grade math ~

This school year, students will be learning how math is a language that communicates logic, thoughts, ideas, and problem solving. We will be striving towards precision and application of all the skills used in previous grades and transfer mathematical ideas. We will be solving real world problems with ratios, geometry, and statistics and look at the relationships in our environment. We will be participating in ways to communicate information and put our argumentative writing skills to the task to persuade people into action.

in Language Arts~

The Literacy and Language Arts in 6th grade focus on developing fluency and comprehension in reading through a variety of critical thinking strategies, flexible grouping, and targeted resources. We make deliberate choices to expose students to a wide variety of genres in literature.

Our writing focus is based on the Lucy Calkins Writer’s Workshop. It involves lessons in multiple facets of the writing process. Genres in writing include Argumentative Writing, Narrative Writing, and Informative Writing.

Note to parents:

• Please email me and I will respond to your questions or concerns with an email, phone call, or for us to set up an opportunity to meet and discuss you and your students.
• I am excellent with technology and love to find different and meaningful ways to use it. If you ever have any questions about Schoology, the chromebooks, or technology in general, I may know the answer, or I will be sure to find it out for you! Please ask!
• I work very hard to find the balance between use of technology and growing different opportunities for growth and creativity.
