Welcome to my 6th grade lessons web page. This
is designed to give a basic description of daily activities
and assignments. Please be aware that these classroom plans are
flexible, and are continuously being updated & revised. I do my best
to keep them current on a daily basis:)
This web page is a great resource for parents to stay current on their
child's day to day activities in science. This web page is also a great
resource for absent students to discover what they have missed.
Students may receive their missing work in morning tutorials at 8:15 a.m. each
morning.
Differentiation for students who
are identified as Pre-AP & Gifted and Talented will occur through
process and product.
These students will experience varied pacing and multiple levels of
questioning to ensure higher-level thinking.
