Welcome to Mrs. Hough's web page.

We have made flash cards with the 12 Powerful Words and Foldables with the words, definitions, sentences, and questions. Your child should  be studying them.

Ask them to sing you the song and do the motions!  It's fun!

Larry Bell Words:

Now we have developed our own list of 12 Words for 6th graders at CGMS:

In Science we are starting our Unit on Rocks and Minerals.  Please encourage your child to read over their notes and study their vocabulary.  We are UNRAAVELING the Red Workbook pages and doing one Blue Workbook page for each section.  HOWEVER, if your child needs extra credit, they may do the other 2 pages of each section in the blue workbook to help pull up a low grade.  Thanks for all that you do to help your child be successful!
