Welcome to 6th grade

Dear Parents and Students, Welcome to 6th grade. Our first week was about establishing routines and procedures. No homework has been assigned in learning support reading. Next week you can expect to see some of the following homework procedures to begin. I will update as we introduce these and other homework assignments. Due to the individualized nature of learning support please be sure to check assignment books nightly for assignments that may not be general postings on teacher's blogs. By now parents and students should be used to the routines established in the learning support reading class such as the following; Spelling- Words are written 1X print and 1X cursive nightly until the test is given for each lesson. As the test is approaching students will be assigned any packet worksheets that they didn't complete in class. Reading- Practice fluency nightly by reading the short story passage we are on currently. This nightly practice will improve phonetic, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension skills. Please always feel free to contact me with any concerns. Thank you! Mrs. Kergick
