What to Expect

Middle school can often seem overwhelming compared to elementary. Here are a few things that can help you prepare for your 6th grade year in ELA.

Check out all the happenings here at Ms. Noonan's Class in our news section below. You’ll find important announcements, key updates and much more. Take a look and check back often to never miss a beat.

Reading Workshop

This year all middle schools in the county are continuing a new ELA curriculum that is centered around reading workshop. I was blessed with an entire classroom library, from which the students will be reading all year long. Students will often have the opportunity to choose their reading material, and each lesson we learn in class will be applied to the book of their choice. We will also participate in book clubs, and writing workshops. Please be prepared for your student to have a book in their hands every day!! :))

Assignments and Homework

Throughout the year students will have various assignments that remain consistent. Everyday students will complete a bellringer in class, and assignments in their reading notebook. At home, students will be asked to complete a reading log of how often they are reading at home.

Materials

-One composition notebook (not spiral bound) 
-Pencils 
-Sticky notes
-Colorful pens/ highlighters

Que esperar

Leyendo, Leyendo, Leyendo


Este año, todas las escuelas de Middle School han cambiado a un nuevo plan de estudios para Inglés, llamada “Reading Workshop”. Este plan incluye mucho y mucho leyendo. Fui bendecido con una nueva biblioteca para mi clase, y este año los estudiantes pueden escoger los libros que ellos quieren leer. Las lecciones en clase se aplicarán a los libros que ellos escogen. Entonces, por favor estén preparados para su hijo tenga un libro en mano cada día! :))

Las asignaciones y Las tareas

Durante el año, los estudiantes tendrán asignaciones consistentes. Cada día los estudiantes completarán un “bellringer” en clase, y algunas asignaciones en sus cuadernos. En casa, me preguntará los estudiantes a completar un “reading log” diez veces durante dos semanas (diez minutos o cinco páginas de lectura mínima).

Los Materiales

- un cuaderno (sin las espirales) 
- los lapices 
- los post-its
- las plumas de colores o los resaltadores
