Language Arts, 6th Grade, Month 7

All work is expected to be completed thoroughly and will be assessed based upon level of effort and accomplishment. Parents need to discuss the monthly assignments with their student to address skill development. If a parent wishes for the student to do an alternative activity, instead of doing some of the following activities, discuss this with the supervisory teacher prior to the start of the month.

Parents, please score/grade and review all work daily with your student, and attach to this coversheet when complete.
