6th Grade Reading and Literature
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.
Students should be working on their May Book of the Month. The report that goes with the book is due on/before May 20.
We are currently reading L. 20 "Bodies from the Ash: Life and Death in Ancient Pompeii" in the Journeys series. This nonfiction informational text tells of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD and the discovery and excavation of the site some 1700 years later. The test will be on Monday, May 10.
Follow that test, we will begin work on a book project that will serve as the literature exam for second semester. The work on this project will be done entirely in class.
