[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two English teachers now who plan together. (The second one is a Humanities magnet vet so not new to the program just to the English class.). That has led to changes, which are better or worse depending on your perspective. Sixth grade this year is a more gentle transition from fifth grade. Still challenging, still a lot of work (1.5-2 hours a night) but the first novel was an easier selection and shorter which allowed for more detailed reading analysis. So far they haven’t had a longer essay the way they used to in sixth grade. Still amazing teachers and more challenging books and stronger writing and reading instruction than in the non magnets. [/quote] Curious as to what the first novel assigned. No more Watership Down? Also, why do they now have two English teachers for sixth grade? [/quote]
