We work hard in 6th grade to reach our individual potential, learn new things, and embrace new challenges, in order to become independent, succesful readers, writers and leaders. 

A few things we use to be successful in our classroom are:

SLANT - Sit tall, Listen Carefully, Ask and Answer Questions, Nod head, and Track the Speaker

DATA NOTEBOOKS - students use data notebooks to track their progress on daily academic and personal goals.  Each student independently documents their own celebrations, academic progress and weekly reflections.
