Welcome to Mrs. Powell's 6th grade English Language Arts class! We are going to have a great year together. This year, your child will make great gains in all areas of academic growth. In our classroom, we will focus on literacy skills: reading, writing, grammar, speaking/listening skills, and so much more!  We're continuing the foundation from elementary to further develop a love of reading and writing. We will explore a variety of genres and authors throughout the year and discover who we are as readers and writers. We strive to create exceptional reading and writing habits and skills that will last a lifetime. Parent involvement is very important in this journey!

​

We also learn about character development, friendships, and being good citizens. In fifth grade, your child will develop many friendships - some that will come and go, and some that will last for many years to come! 

​

We are a blended learning classroom, meaning we use a mixed approach of traditional (paper/pencil) methods, infused with technology education that allow all types of learners to demonstrate and practice their learning in fun and creative ways. Parents are encouraged to connect with our classroom via: 

1. This website, and teacher Email.

2. Schoology 

3. On a bigger scale, you will find tons of useful information, MTMS calendars, and district calendars at Cadillacschools.org

​

Check out more details on the syllabus. A paper copy will be available at open house and it is also under the documents tab on this website.

​

It is going to be a great year and I am very excited to work with you and your child! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of their educational journey!
