Make-A-Wish Fundraiser

Miss Rozak's 6th Grade English classes are on a mission to help others by helping the student council achieve their goal for the Make-A-Wish Fundraiser. The class periods are currently competing against each other to see who can raise the most money. I am very proud of the students for their efforts and genorosity! Remember, donations of any size are appreciated, and all donations contribute to making a wish come true!

Frozen Fire

Miss Rozak's 6th Grade English students are currently reading the novel Frozen Fire. Students will complete vocabulary and comprehension questions for each chapter, as well as activities that require the use of active reading strategies.  All of these materials will serve as very useful study guides for upcoming quizzes and tests.  Links to online vocabulary games will be posted at the conclusion of Chapter 3.
