6th grade

We are currently diving into our Poetry Unit in 6th Grade ELA! Students are exploring different types of poems while analyzing structure, theme, tone, and sound devices. We are focusing heavily on figurative language: similes, metaphors, personification, imagery, and more, to better understand how poets create meaning and emotion.

In addition, students are applying these skills to their own creative writing stories. They are working to incorporate strong imagery and figurative language to make their writing more vivid and engaging. It has been wonderful to see their creativity shine as they experiment with descriptive language and expressive storytelling!

Encourage your child to share their poems and stories with you at home, we have some talented writers in our classroom!

Our iReady challenge has started out strong! I truly believe this will motivate students to complete and pass their lessons with greater focus and effort. I’m excited to see the growth that will come from this!

Thank you for your continued support at home.
