• 6th Grade Students 

    Your schedule will reflect Reading 2nd, 5th, 6th Period or AVID Elective 3rd or 4th. Come ready with an open mind and determination to excel! 6th grade is the stepping stone into middle school and it also builds the foundation for academic excellence beyond 8th grade.

    • SUPPLIES: *(2) Notebooks (reading focused notes and bellwork/homework journal) *(1) 4pack-Glue sticks or (1) 2pack roll scotch tape  *(1) pack of 12  sharpened pencils (1) favorite photo of yourself (no larger than 2'' x 4'' or 3'' x 5'')  *1 multi-pack of post-it sticky notes (pastel colors).    
    • Textbooks, Workbooks, and Resources: Books and ISN (interactive student notebook) will be kept in class, unless directed otherwise. 
    • HOMEWORK "R&R" Rigorous Reading: Nightly homework will require you to read (grade and content appropriate). Use the 5 W's (Who, What, When, Where, Why) strategy during the reading process to think, ask questions, and respond to your questions as you read. **Reading Students-Search out and obtain a copy of "Wonder" an inspiring book by R.J. Palacio. We will explore the fictional text that will teach a non-fictional life lesson. Always remember, "we are beautifully and wonderfully made with a purpose in mind! **AVID Elective Students-Use independent study time at home to search out real world text that provides an opportunity to make new discoveries about AVID (locally and globally), future courses of study, or future careers. Yes, your cell phone will be a helpful device for R&R! :-)

Did you know the name Sharon represents "Rose of Sharon" which is a flowering plant in Israel? I was born in a country bordering the Atlantic Ocean. There are beautiful roses that bloom year round! My family and I moved to Florida from the Northeast about fourteen years ago. Liberty has been my home for almost two years and I am "proud to be a lion." As we travel the 6th Grade journey our focus will be to utilize techniques and strategies that support the ability to become stronger readers, thinkers, and speakers.  I am "roar-all" excited about the adventure that awaits us! We do our best! We do what's right! We treat others the way we want to be treated!
