6th Grade ELAR Team
This is HARD! Most of our materials are not copyrighted to use online. We are having to rewrite our curriculum as we go to adapt it for our students. This team has worked exhaustively (I wish I could say tirelessly, but it's hard) to give our students, home and in-person, the material they need to keep their learning going strong! So grateful for this team of amazing educators!
Sharon Williams
Thank you for letting me use your document camera to do live drawing demos with my students f2f and @home. I really appreciate it!

Thank you for choosing Renner and being so Easy to work with when planning for English. You fit right in with the 8th Grade Ela team!
