Lit

Next week, we will be reviewing figurative language by studying Hard as Nails and Thunder Butte, two stories from our Lit book.  The next week, we will be studying Myths, Folk Tales and Fables. 

Pronoun Test

We will be having our pronoun test this Friday.  As always, there will be a few review questions on the test also.  Students should study their pronoun graphic organizer to get ready. 

Future Plans

Next week, we will be adding to our knowledge of verbs and taking a test over the material on Thursday. 

After verbs will come prepositions and then adverbs. 

Upcoming Quizzes

On Thursday, we will be reviewing Sentence Purpose.  This is only a review, as the children should have learned the four sentence purposes during elementary school.  We will be having a short quiz after the review. 

On Friday, we will be having our Benchmark Test.  This will be over all material presented this school year, as well as over items that should have been learned during elementary school. 

Verbs

We have been studying different types of verbs.  To help us memorize helping verbs, we're learning a little song.  Practice at home and be ready to sing.

HAVE HAS HAD AM ARE IS

WAS WERE BE BEING BEEN

DO DOES DID

WILL WOULD SHALL SHOULD

CAN COULD MAY MIGHT MUST

Welcome to 6th Grade

During this school year, I will be posting information that will help you in class. 

Currently, we are studying six different types of nouns.  We have completed proper, common and collective.  We will be studying abstract tomorrow.

If you let me know that you have checked the BLOG, I'll have a little treat for you.
