6th Grade Homeroom
from Ms. StoneMs. Stone is in the 6th grade homeroom as the Language Arts and Literature teacher. This year’s Literature class has read Banner in the Sky by Ullman, Summer of the Monkeys by Rawls, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi, and The Westing Game by Raskin. We’ve also read short stories, poetry, and informational pieces. In Language Arts, we have a whole new textbook by Holt. Within this one book are grammar, reading and writing exercises.
