Dear Team Taylor Students and Families,

As we embark on a new school year, we want to take a moment to welcome you to sixth
grade and Team Taylor. As your teachers, we are ecstatic about the year ahead. New
novels to read, units to study, concepts to grasp!

As a team, we will work together to create a supportive environment where all feel
comfortable and safe to take on new challenges and stretch as learners and unique
individuals. Think about what talents you bring to our team. What will you be able to
share with your peers and teachers? What do you hope to learn from those around you?

Sixth grade is a time to explore and uncover a variety of topics.

In ELA, students will experience rich literature, while developing high level skills by
engaging in analytical thinking and collaboration with peers. Ultimately, students will
improve on their writing skills along with their reading.

In Math, you will continue to master foundational skills from fifth grade while continuing
your work as young mathematicians.

In Science, you will encounter earth and life science topics through inquiry based learning.

In Social Studies, you will travel back in time. You will begin with early humans and study
to the fall of Rome.

Annie Sullivan Middle School provides ample opportunities to discover new interests
and passions. Try out a new club. Meet new friends. See what exciting adventures
middle school holds for you!

Take some time to think about how you will get involved. How will you make a difference?

How can you be a pack leader on our ASMS Husky team?

Best Regards,

Mr. Kelley - Mathematics, Science - Kelleyd@franklinps.net
