Welcome!
Happy 2018 Parents and Students! Welcome to Mrs. Johnson's 6th grade ELA website. This website will serve as a away for parents and students to get information on upcoming homework assignments and projects. However, it is still the students responsibility to be writing homework assignments in their agendas as assigned.
Homework
Homework will be assigned 2-3 times a week. Homework will be graded as a participation grade based on completion not correctness. Any days in which paper homework is not assigned, students should be reviewing class notes and vocabulary words. Students should also spend at least 10-15 minutes a day reading from their library books. Daily reading is critical to building student comprehension and vocabulary skills. Click the Homework tab above for upcoming assigments.
