IXL

Dear Parent,

I am pleased to tell you that we will be using a website called IXL in our classroom this year. IXL is a comprehensive learning program offering unlimited math and language arts practice problems in thousands of skills—all of which are aligned to Alabama Standards. One of the best things about IXL is that your child can access it from home, so you have a chance to see your child's progress!

To get your child started on your home computer, please follow these easy steps:

1.    Go to https://www.IXL.com/signin/hewitttms (save it as a favorite!)

2.    Enter your child's username and password and click the button to sign in.

       Your child was given their username and password in class. If they misplaced it, the 

       formula for their password is below.

      USERNAME: Name + 4 Numbers from google sign in @ hewitttms           

      PASSWORD: Initials & Lunch Number

      Example:        john1234@hewitttms              jd123456

3.    Click on the name of the subject you’d like to work on at the top of the page and navigate to your child's grade level.

4.    Select a specific skill to practice from the list of skills. You can place your mouse over any skill to see a sample question and click on the link to begin.

In addition to making practice exciting, IXL is designed to help your child learn at his or her own pace. The program is adaptive and will adjust based on your child's demonstrated understanding of the material. All of your child's results will be saved, so you can monitor his or her progress anytime by clicking on the Analytics tab at the top of the page. For on-the-go practice, you can download IXL’s free tablet apps for iPad, Android, or Kindle and sign in with your child’s username and password.

I hope you'll encourage your student to use IXL regularly. Here's to a year of working together to make learning fun for your child!

Parts of Speech

This week we will review the parts of speech in class in preparation for a parts of speech quiz scheduled for 8/31/18. Parts of speech will be the foundation for all of the grammar work throughout this year. It is essential that students have a good understanding in order to do well with the new grammar concepts that will be covered.

Below there are links to the resources given in class for parts of speech. If you misplace the copy given to you in class, you can print a new one below.

Welcome, Syllabus, Brain Bender

WELCOME to Mrs. Oliveira's Class Blog for the 2018-2019 school year! This is a great resource for your student to use throughout the year for 6th grade English. On this blog, I will post handouts given in class (so students can print them if they misplaced their own copy), study tips, resources, and even pictures from class. It would be a good idea to save the site as a favorite for easy access.

**If you have a question or your need to contact Mrs. Oliveira, please use my normal TCS email address as follows: Brianna.Oliveira@trussvillecityschools.com


Here is a link to the Mrs. Oliveira's English Class Syllabus
 Remember to keep your syllabus in your English binder throughout the year. You can use it for a reminder of class policies and a reference for information. If you misplace your syllabus, you can print it out from that link. (There may be a chance for bonus points later in the year just for keeping up with your syllabus!)

Here is the link for the first four weeks of Brain Bender (BB). Remember, you are expected to complete the daily BB on your own before we go over it each day in class. I will take up your completed BB sheet when you are given another in order to give you credit for your work. If you are absent, you are still responsible for completing that day's BB and checking with a friend. If you misplace the BB sheet I provided to you, you can print a new one for yourself below.

BB 8/13-8/20
BB 8/27-9/4
