•MCPS 2001 Math 6 does have some similar concepts as
C2.0 Math 6; however, the standards are different and
are not taught as in depth as they will be in the
Common Core curriculum.
•The content of 2001 Math 6 contains some mathematics
that is not in Common Core middle school content.
•The way in which students will experience C2.0 Math 6
is very different than the way they experience MCPS
2001 Math 6. There is more focus on how students
arrive at their answer, rather than on the answer
itself. Students will explore multiple methods,
justify their work, and work collaboratively to make
connections. More time will be spent on fewer topics
in order for students to develop a deep conceptual
understanding.

Students are expected to: oRead novels, short stories, poetry, navigate visual
literacy
oIndependently write in response to reading
oIndependently write creative narratives
oUse Course and Literary Terms
Advanced English 6
Teachers expect students to:
• Show initiative and be able to work independently
• Do homework regularly and read nightly to build
vocabulary skills
• Be able to navigate on-grade level texts
• Respond to a prompt using a paragraph and/or 3
paragraph essays
What is Reading 6?
* It is not a reading intervention course
* It is differentiated within the classroom for the
different leveled reader
* This is the student's last chance to take a non-
intervention reading course to gain strategies
necessary to navigate multi-structured texts
* It supports the demands of reading in other subject
areas
Please note: If you have any concerns about your
child’s reading skills, they should take reading.
Research States: Students who read widely and frequently are higher
achievers than students would read rarely and narrowly Reading volume… significantly affects… general knowledge of
the world, overall verbal ability, and academic achievement.
Even proficient readers eventually exhibit academic declines if they do not read in their free time.
Without extensive reading practice, reading proficiency lags.
Children learn an average of 4,000 to 12,000 new words each year as a result of book reading.
Children expand their vocabularies by reading extensively on their own. The more children read, the more their vocabularies grow.
Daily at home reading, high expectations, and parent involvement (including reading aloud) help promote lifelong independent readers.

Special Education @ KMS
Provide direct instruction and resource support to students identified as having special education needs according to state and federal guidelines.
The team consists of parents, special education teachers,
general education teachers, paraeducators, counselors, related services personnel (speech language pathologist, occupational therapist, etc…), as well consultation with our school psychologist and pupil personnel worker.
We are a full inclusion program providing direct and indirect
special education services both inside and outside of the classroom based on the student’s IEP.
Students are assigned a case manager who oversees their
program, meets with students on a regular basis to support their needs, and maintains weekly contact with parents.
