• Language Arts 6th Grade

    1st Quarter Syllabus

    Ms. Stagner 

     

    I am very excited to begin the school year! I will post a quarter syllabus for you on my teacher webpage. I have listed important information for you below. 

     

    Course Description 

    Language Arts 6th grade will provide the students with a curriculum that will enable the students to become better readers and writers. This course will allow students to use prior knowledge and apply new strategies learned through reading, writing, grammar, spelling, and vocabulary so that students can gain a thorough understanding of the reading and writing process. We will be doing a lot of writing in this class! 

     

    Required Materials 

    • Tab/Divider in a binder  
    • Pencils  

     

    Expectations 

    Students are expected to be at their desks immediately after they walk into the room and begin the bellringer assignment. Students MUST have all materials needed. It is the student's responsibility to complete their weekly planner each Monday. A positive attitude is expected so that maximum learning can take place. Students are expected to stay organized and keep up with all study guides and assignments in their binder.

    Absences and Make-Up Work 

    Students need to attend class every day. Absences are strongly discouraged. However, in the event of an absence, it is the student’s responsibility to make up any missed assignments or tests. 

    Check the calendar for assignments and assessments in Schoology. You can also check my teacher page on the school website for resources and information at www.smspartans.com.
