6th Grade Language Arts
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: Week of September 22 - 26
These are the things we will be doing in class this week in my Language Arts classes:

We will begin a study of poetry! We will read some poems and write some poems over the next two weeks.

Monday - We will read and go over the poem in our textbook on page 32 - "To Young Readers." We will complete reading workbook page 5; finish for homework, if necessary.

Tuesday - We will read and go over the poem in our textbook on page 33 - "Arithmetic." We will answer questions on page 35 orally. No homework!

Wednesday - We will review both poems read this week to prepare for our test on them, which will be Thursday. We will discuss and practice context clues and complete a worksheet on this skill. Homework is to read back over poems and go back over the review questions on textbook page 35. (test)

Thursday - We will complete a test on the poems read this week.

Friday - All of my classes will visit our school library for a lesson on note-taking and more fun with poetry!
