What we'll learn:In sixth grade English, we will write and read and communicate verbally every day. Some basics will come into play that you can expect to use for the next three years: the notebook in three sections for Quickwrites, Grammar and Vocabulary, and Notes and Assignments. We will also participate in Literature Circles, read Whole Class novels, and have the opportunity for independent reading.
