About the teacher...
My name is Lori Nixon and this is my 21st year of teaching. I hold both a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Elementary Education. I love teaching and working with children. I teach both sixth grade ELA (English/Language Arts) and Reading.
I am a mom to two sons, love traveling, reading and learning. I think it's extremely important for teachers and parents to work together to provide the best education possible for each student. I hope that you feel comfortable contacting me at any time during the school year with any ideas, questions or concerns. You can reach me at [email protected] or at (508) 821-1111.

About the curriculum...
The sixth grade ELA and Reading Curriculum directly adheres to the Common Core State Standards followed by the state of Massachusetts.
The Scope and Sequence for Reading includes Concepts about Print, Phonological and Phonemic Awareness, Decoding & Word Recognition, Vocabulary & Concept Development, Reading Comprehension, and Literary Response and Analysis.
The Scope and Sequence for Language Arts includes Writing, Written & Oral English Language Conventions, Listening & Speaking, Viewing Media, Understanding & Using Graphic Sources, Understanding and Using Reference Sources, Study Skills & Strategies, Test-Taking Skills & Strategies, Technology/New Literacies and the Research Process.
Taunton Public Schools utilizes the Scott Foresman Reading Street Series as the vehicle to present and teach these skills. I also use trade books to deliver the skills necessary for success in both Reading and Writing in the 21st Century.
