Language Arts 6(full year)
The theme "Freedom & Responsibility" will be used to guide instruction in reading, writing, listening, and speaking activities. Students will engage in language activities that will help them to develop reading and writing skills.

All students need the following things DAILY:

Independent Reading Book--a fiction or non-fiction book that students have chosen ON THEIR OWN (not one that has been assigned in another class) for reading--it could come from the Chippewa IMC, the public library, teacher classroom libraries, personal libraries...so long as it's not one assigned by another teacher.
