Year at a Glance

6th Grade

Classroom Novels

We recommend students purchase books so they may annotate and take notes inside of the book. If you are able to purchase or donate a copy of the classroom novels for your student this will be highly helpful. Students can purchase new or used books. If you are unable to purchase, students may use library checkouts. I do have some class copies, but I do not have enough of each to cover all of the students. 

My Life in Dog Years by Gary Paulsen  (Academic and TAG)

Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo (Academic and TAG)

Second Semester W

Words with Wings by Nikki Grimes (Academic and TAG)

We will be participating in book clubs and your student will be able to choose which novel they would like to read. They will only be reading one of the novels, so if you are planning on purchasing, please wait until you know which novel they have selected and been grouped with.

*Titles are subject to change as we strive to provide students with current and academically relevant books. All books are put through a district approval process prior to use in class. We love hearing from parents and students about new books that meet the diverse needs of our community and we appreciate and welcome your suggestions.
