6th Grade Reading and Literature
We are currently reading "The ACES Phone" (lesson 4 in Journeys). This science fiction story focuses on the target skills of story structure, alliteration, and style and tone. The vocabulary strategies are prefixes: de- and trans-. Our test will be on Tuesday, October 8.
We spend time reading from the Journeys series as well as reading longer chapter books (both novels and nonfiction works). I also strive to provide independent reading time in the classroom.
We are working on meeting 1st quarter AR goals. Students should be about 90% to their goals. Remember that maintaining an accuracy of 85% or higher for the quarter is part of their goal in the upper grades.
