This school year, we will be working on the following Georgia Performance standards (GPS)

ELA6R2: The student understands and acquires new vocabulary and uses it correctly in reading and writing.

ELA6W1: The student produces writing that establishes an appropriate organizational structure, sets a context and engages the reader, maintains a coherent focus throughout, and provides a satisfying closure.

ELA6W2: The student demonstrated competence in a variety of genres.

ELA6W4 The student consistently uses the writing process to develop, revise, and evaluate writing.

ELA6C1: The student demonstrates understanding and control of the rules of the English language, realizing that usage involves the appropriate application of conventions and grammar in both written and spoken formats.

The Georgia Performance Standard ELA6RC states that students will read 25 books in order to meet the standard. There is an in-class Reading Log Documentation Notebook that your child will use to record his/her readings and assessments. The Independent Reading Assessment grade will count as one test grade per nine weeks.

1 book read & assessment passed = 79/C

2 books read & assessments passed = 89/B

3 or more books read and assessments passed = 100/ AFeb

*Note* Class and homework assignments are subject to change depending on how much of the material was covered and or masterd in class. As a result, please click the save and notify tab so thayt you will be alerted when an assignment has been changed.

COMPLETING ONE BOOK PROJECT = 79/C 2= 89/ B AND 3 BOOK PROJECTS = A 100/ A AS AN A.R. GRADE. Please make sure your child is reading each night.
