Welcome to Ms. Rinker's 6th Grade Classroom

Homework is an important part of a student's learning, understanding and responsibility.  Each day, the homework assignments are written on the classroom whiteboard.  Students are expected to copy what is written on the whiteboard into their agenda books.  Sixth grade students should be spending a minimum of sixty (60) minutes per day on homework assignments from Team Avalanche teachers.  

In addition, another 20-30 minutes should be spent on reading independently at home.
