For reading and writing activities, you can go to Scholastic and check out their Scholastic (Sixth Grade) Week. You can also visit newsela.com or dogonews.com for reading articles. Kids TED talks are good for discussion and in depth thinking, as well.

Reading

Writing
We will be reading the Giver by Lois Lowry. You may purchase a book online or read the novel on your computer with a free PDF.
​For writing, students will have two choices and may do both if they like. They may keep a daily journal and use prompts from online (Search for "Middle school journal prompts"). They may also write three short narrative stories. These can be done on paper or on Google Docs.
If you own a library card, you can also check out an Ebook from
​their website and read the book on your browser.
