Students use headphones every day in ELA. Please make sure they have some and bring them daily.
We will continue with our novel study, Tiger Tiger. I am excited to read this novel with my students because it encourages critical thinking, meaningful discussion, and strong reading comprehension skills. It challenges sixth graders to think deeply about characters, themes, and the choices people make. This novel also supports our work with vocabulary, close reading, and thoughtful written responses.

Reminders
Please help students remember to follow both classroom and PCA expectations each day.
Some students are not completing their reading logs and are receiving 0’s. This is an easy 100—please make sure they are filling these out nightly.
Students should bring their supplies daily to class: headphones, pencils, notebooks/binders, and other needed materials. Being prepared helps them succeed!
