New opportunity for our 6th grade students to communicate with other IUSD 6th graders on the blog “6th Grade Readers Rock” located at http://6thgradereadersrock.edublogs.org

The February question asks for recommendations for new titles to add to the 6th grade Reserved Literature List.

1. Go to http://6thgradereadersrock.edublogs.org

2. Log in with their e-mail address (this is NOT visible on the blog)

3. Click on “Comments” under the “February Question” posting

4. Type their recommendation (title and author) and why they think it is a good choice for 6th graders. Comments are not posted immediately. They are monitored daily.

Writing

I will be updating this portion of the website throughout the year to include sample pieces of all writing that we do in sixth grade. I will also include links to the rubrics that are used to grade the pieces. Please review these pieces and their rubrics to see what the expectations are for sixth grade writing.

Classroom Needs:

The class is in constant need of Kleenex, graph paper, Expo brand white board markers, pencils, and lined paper.
