6th Grade
This website is your tool for learning at home. I will post your vocabulary list, notes, and other information, as well as, any available extra-credit videos. To get extra credit points from the videos, you must write a response to the video (what did you learn?, what do you want to know?,etc.). It must be quality writing and turned in before the end of unit test. If you need additional resources, you are always welcome to check out a copy of the text. Students are responsible for the replacement cost of any lost or damaged materials.
