Welcome to Mrs. Spangler and Mrs. Vierra’s Class!
Welcome to our 6th Grade Language Arts and Social Studies class! We are so excited to be your teachers and watch you learn and grow as a student. This year promises to be challenging, eye-opening, and fun! Mrs. Vierra will be teaching Mondays-Thursdays and Mrs. Spangler will be teaching Fridays. As 6th grade students, you will be expected to conduct yourself in a more mature manner than was expected of you in 5th grade. You will be expected to organize your materials, turn in all of your assigned work, and take responsibility for your own learning. Our job is to point you in the right direction, while providing opportunities for you to learn and excel. It is your responsibility to do the learning. Therefore, you are required to not just do your assigned work, but to learn from it! We believe that each of our students are able to succeed and we will do our best to foster your personal and academic growth. We will show you respect and will expect the same in return.
Homework:
Ongoing homework will be given with vocabulary and reading for AR goals. Other various homework assignments will be given throughout the week. If you are absent, the assignment that was due needs to be turned in the day you return. You may check the school website under our names for the weekly agenda and homework. It is your responsibility to find out what classwork and/or homework you missed if you are absent. Homework assignments are due at the beginning of the period unless stated otherwise. All work submitted must be neat, include proper headings, and be legible. Headings must include first and last name, date, assignment, and block.
