6th Grade Language Arts Update

The 6th grade class is currently reading Hoot, a novel by Carl Hiaasen.  Hiaasen likes to call his novels "environmental thrillers."  His goal is to teach environmental awareness, and to teach people to value and respect the environment.  The kids are enjoying the novel so far.  Their first test will be on Nov. 25th.

The 6th grade has a field trip coming up. We are going to see A Christmas Carol at the IRT on December 12.  

The 6th grade class is doing very well with the Accelerated Reader program at school.  Many of them have already reached their quarter 2 goals.  Keep reading, 6th graders!  Remember, a movie and popcorn right before Christmas break for those who meet their goals and pass their tests with a 90% or above average by the end of 2nd quarter!
