Welcome to 6th Grade Reading

Welcome to 6th Grade Reading.  My name is Mrs. Gonzalez.  I have been teaching for Chicago Public Schools for the past 28 years.  

I am looking forward to working with your children.  This year we will be focusing on both fiction and non-fiction.  We will be reading the novels Seedfolks, Wonder, The One and Only Ivan, Esperanza Rising and Breadwinner.   We will also be studying various poets and will be reading poetry on a weekly basis.  Your child will have weekly vocabulary quizzes, using the words from the text.  

 

Although we are starting the year differently, I am still working to give your child the best possible education.  I am looking forward to building a partnership with all parents to collaborate for an excellent year.
