Welcome to English.  I absolutely love teaching sixth grade students and observing their growth throughout the middle school years!

Sixth grade focus for first half of quarter: kinds of sentences, complete subject/complete predicate, simple subject/simple predicate, imperative sentences, interrogative sentences, compound subjects, compound predicates, conjunctions, and diagramming basics as well as writing.

Students are instructed to write the homework assignment in their spirals as it is assigned aloud in class. Assigned homework is given at the end of the class and is dependent upon student comprehension of the day's lesson.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday- grammar days and practice homework; spelling tests on Mondays

Thursday- vocabulary day

Friday- DEW Day- Drop Everything and Write
