Sixth Grade Reading and Language Arts and 7S:

6S and 6J  You should see sixth grade working on their Diary books and reading response journals. This will be an on-going reading/writing project for the next two months. Many sixth grade students had incomplete work, or were not prepared in general for this project. When completed, this will count for two reading test grades. The journals have already been collected, and they have been returned to the students. This project has resumed as of January 9th, 2012.
