6th Grade Language Arts and Spelling
In English Language Arts (ELA) we will be spending time learning about grammar and the mechanics of writing as well as doing writing. We will be alternating periods of grammar and writing study. On Fridays, we will strengthen our research, writing, and presentations skills with Passion Projects/Genius Hour.
Spelling words and assignments are introduced on Fridays, the pretest is on Monday, the three-page spelling workbook packet is due on Thursday, and the test is on the following Friday. During most weeks that are pre-planned to be short weeks (such as the first week of school, Labor Day week, etc.), there will be no spelling.
We are currently working on our My writing prompts and finishing up our Passion Projects. We will be studying lesson 25 spelling words the week of May 10. Passion Project presentations will serve as the ELA exam and will take place on May 18, 19, and 20.
