We use many intervention strategies in sixth grade to meet the needs of all of our students. Reading Plus and Accelerated Reader are two computer-based programs that challenge our students in Language Arts and engage them at their level of competency. We use MyMath and Number Talks to promote number sense and build our math skills. We also do Project Based Learning that encourages our students to think about all school subjects and how they can be related. Next Generation Science Standards are being incorporated into our class, along with Makerspace to design, collaborate, and engineer. It may look different this year, but my expectations are high that students will meet the unique challenges of distance learning .
