Welcome to 6th ELA at Buffalo Ridge, 

Hello,

 Welcome to middle school! I am glad to have the privilege of teaching your child this year for ELA. I have been teaching at the charter school for 18 years and am passionate about reading and writing. Together, this can be the best year ever. 

Weekly Outline: 

 Weekly Nonfiction Passages: Every week there is a new 2-page text. Students have daily work related to the texts. They are given these passages in class on Monday and posted on Google classroom. 

Monday: Read the passage and take Google Quiz

Tuesday: Text evidence which means finding specific sentences in the text and marking with the directed colors.

Wednesday: Skill page

Thursday:  Final test & students can use their passages and all completed work on the final test. 

IReady: Each week students need to complete two “My Path” lessons using their Chromebooks. They will get 100 practice points for passing two lessons. Students can earn extra credit by completing extra lessons.

We will also be reading novels as a class, short stories, nonfiction texts, and many articles from the Scholastic Scope magazine. 

Read all 15 SSYRA books, earn brag tags, and go on a field trip at the end of the year!
