Welcome to Sixth Grade Language Arts! I'm excited for our year ahead of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and growing.
This week, we have been thinking about the question, "Who are you?" We started by creating "Stick Figure Me" portraits which families will see displayed at Open House. We also personalized our Reader's/Writer's Notebooks and started creating our Heart Maps. As we launch our reading and writing for the year, I want to share a Langston Hughes poem for some inspiration.
Over the weekend, students will be gathering their materials for the Brown Bag Bio projects. The students have a paper packet with all of the information and rubric, but in case you want to check it out, you can click here for the Google Doc version. Students will be practicing their presentations and receiving some feedback at home in order to help prepare for their presentation at school. We will use these as a benchmark for our presentation skills and work on what's needed as the year continues. Can't wait to see all of the unique contents of everyone's bag!
