This week in 6th Grade ELA Classes....

We've been reading "Storm" (pg. 97 in our literature book), an excerpt from Woodsong written by Gary Paulsen. This is a story about the Iditarod (click to watch a Discovery video on the Iditarod).  The vocabulary words we're studying are: ladle, disengage, regain, and emit. We've also discussed character traits of Storm, such as his physical traits, personality, and dog sled skills.
