6th grade english language arts
Responsibility is the state of being accountable, answerable for something within one's power or control.
I am so proud of our 6th graders who have shown much responsibility with their reading and writing. Most students have gone above and beyond their monthly required reading expectations. I am happy to report that they are getting more and more excited about their novels and making many recommendations to their classmates. Bernie the "bookwormy," our classroom mascot, (generously created by Aidan G.), has grown exponentially with an abundant amount of body parts, aka reading suggestions. This is outstanding news and I am so delighted that numerous students are growing a deeper appreciation to the written word! Their monthly literary responses have been truly wonderful! I enjoy reading the many insightful reading reflections. Overall, their progress has been quite impressive. I see them writing with much more ease, confidence, and sophistication. I am very proud of their efforts and accomplishments.

what's going on in ela
Students are continuing to work on their persuasive writing projects this month. We have practiced how to differentiate between facts and opinions so that, through their research of individual topics, they are able to identify facts that support their thesis and have provided an explanation using opinion words.
The use of the planning page which began well before President's week last month, was the first step of writing the essay. Utilizing this planning sheet is key to organizing their information. 6th-grade writers have been working on it both in and out of the classroom. The completed planning sheet is due Tuesday 3/3.
After that, we will focus on developing a "hook" for an introductory paragraph. Thus far, the students have compiled at least three pieces of research-based evidence and at least one testimonial to support their side of the argument. Our final project will be submitted Monday 3/16 and the oral presentation will take place the week of March 23rd.
We will continue working diligently on our reading comprehension skills as well as annotating the reading passages. The students will be reintroduced to prepositions and will continue to practice daily the proper conventions of grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling.
Please see the calendar below for upcoming exams.

Virtue of the Month
A Poem
Responsibility
Every man is responsible,
for the life he lives.
From the thing's he takes,
to the thing's he gives.
Even if your killing time,
and think your day is through.
Then grab a pen or pencil,
and write a friend or two.
Responsibility isn't always work,
it's the thing's that must be done.
The ones who are responsible,
have played the game and won.
