Chippens Hill Middle School

Grade 6 Language Arts

Welcome to 6th grade Language Arts! I am so excited for this school year and all of the new and exciting things we are going to learn. My goal is to teach all students the skills that they need to be successful in middle school and beyond. The 6th grade LA curriculum will focus on helping students demonstrate a command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when reading and writing.  We will spend time reading closely and analytically, as well as writing effectively for different purposes and audiences. Students will spend time developing their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills through lessons and activities that will be both challenging and engaging.  
During ELA, students will access the majority of their lessons, assignments and important announcements through their Google classroom and Gmail accounts.  It will be very important that they come prepared to every class with a fully charged Chromebook.  Grades can be reviewed and accessed through PowerSchool by both students and guardians. 

Grade Breakdown for ELA:

Classwork/Homework ~ 65%

Assessments ~ 20%

Participation ~ 15%

I am looking forward to a great school year!
