Our Last Class

Congratulations, you have completed 6th Grade Language Arts class!

You have all done a fantastic job in this class, and I have truly enjoyed teaching you.

Below you will find a poem I created, as a reflection on our year in Language Arts class.





Our Year in Language Arts
by Mrs. Wright

6th Grade Language Arts has come to a close,
Where this year went, nobody knows.
Let me explain, in a few lines or so,
How much we learned, and how we all did grow!

We started out with writing prompts on our very first day,
Each one of you had something to share, and a whole lot to say!
We then went with grammar studies, those tricky parts of speech,
I taught you how to write full sentences; how fun they were to teach!

Daily Oral Language was both beloved and detested,
That it helped you learn cannot be contested.
Our blog proved helpful and was used most every class,
And we loved Colby’s dance moves during our Aerobic blast!

Holiday stories were an experience in fiction writing.
Owen shared a story of Santa and Joe the cat fighting.
You learned how to create a complete paragraph,
Amidst the intros and conclusions, we had a hearty laugh.

Persuasive writing began with the dogs and cats debate.
Mrs. Wilson taught a mini lesson, despite what Garrett had to state!
Credible sources are something we know to be true.
Monica shared the knowledge on cellphones in school that she knew.

I do indeed hope we all have some fond memories of our year,
Memories of triumphs, challenges, and reasons to cheer.
I have enjoyed teaching each one of you in turn,
And please come back from vacation, with even more to learn!
