Welcome MS 118 Class of 2023! All MS 118 students are expected to complete summer assignments in their four content areas (English Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science). Students should complete the assignments for the grade they’ll be in this September. These assignments will be your first grades of the new school year.
Take a look at the assignments and make a plan to complete the work this summer. It’s not a lot of work if you complete some each week. But if you leave it for the last few days before school starts in September – you’ll never get it all done!
6th Grade English Language Arts
Students must read 2-4 books this summer. Please complete this form for every book you read. There will be prizes this fall for students, classes and grades that read the most books – 2-4 books is just a minimum! Challenge yourself to read at least a book a week this summer for a total of 10 books.
Here’s a book to get you started: Wonder by RJ Palacio
