Welcome to School

Hello! Welcome to 6th grade English! My name is Mrs. Stuckey and I am excited teaching each of you and working with you this year! Hopefully, you will use this class as an opportunity to create some wonderful pieces of writing. I look forward to reading your writing as well.
Sixth grade is a time of transition. In grades one through five, students have spent a majority of their time with one teacher; and in 6th, 7th and 8th grade they will be juggling the challenge of many teachers with a variety of expectations.
