Congratulations on a very successful year...You have all impressed me with your almost 100% participation in on time homework, your honesty, your sense of humor and the way you learned your grammar and vocab. You will be getting a summer reading assignment from me so don't be surprised...We are gearing up for 7th grade and I am looking forward to spending the year with you.
a few of you have some work to make up but otherwise you are all good to go.
We will finish the year with some recapping and playing word games...you still haven't been able to stump me ;)
til then,

During the summer, students need to read 2 books. One book will be The Pigman by Paul Zindel.
Requirements for: The Pigman
1. Students need to purchase a three-section notebook; this will be the same notebook that will be used throughout the year in 6th grade.

3. The first section of the notebook needs to be labeled vocabulary.
4. The second section of the notebook needs to be labeled grammar.

6. In the vocabulary section, students need to create three columns. In the first column, write down the unfamiliar word, guess the meaning and write it down in the second column, then look it up and write a synonym for it in the third column.
