WELCOME TO SIXTH GRADE!
Ms. Daddino Section 6-4 |
Hello, students and parents! Thank you for visiting my home page! This is my sixth year teaching the 6th grade at NMS. I hold a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education and a Masters degree in Reading Education. I look forward to all we have planned this year. Parents,with our coupled support, I am confident that your child will reach their potential and experience success in class this year! Students, remember why you are here (TO LEARN) and do not allow ANYTHING to get in the way of that. Also, please continue to ask questions and hold high expectations for yourself, just as all your teachers do for you here at NMS. Remember that I am available for extra help before and after school on most days.

Five stars throughout the quarter will earn a prize, 10 stars will earn the student a Daddino Dollar, and 15 stars will earn the student a homework pass. Let's keep reading!

This site allows students to practice weekly spelling words by creating fun puzzles, playing games and taking practice quizzes. Try it! This site corresponds with our spelling book and also gives additional practice with weekly spelling words. Each student has a password and username to access this site and reread or pre-read weekly stories in the literature book and work on vocabulary and grammar skills. Bill Nye uses humor and a lot of engaging activities to teach science. Check out this site to practice Science concepts taught in class!
