= Welcome to Amy M. York's Wiki Page at ctteams.wikispaces.com! __About Me__ I love to read! I'm very excited to be teaching Literacy AND Social Studies this year. I belong to the Gold Stars 6th Grade Team starring...Mrs. Amy Majek - Math, Mrs. Sabrina Berentsen - Literacy/Social Studies, Ms. Patricia Roy - Science, and Mrs. Gabriella Paardenkooper - Special Education. We are a fabulous team! I am also a member of the WMS School Data Team. I used to be an auditor with an international accounting firm (KPMG), so I enjoy analyzing data (but I prefer doing that as a teacher - not as an auditor). My goal this year is to integrate technology into my classroom and the classrooms of my colleagues, so that is why I am a member of the group coordinating the Millennium Grant at WMS. Have a great day! __Purpose__The purpose of this Wiki Page is to provide resources that would be useful for 6th Grade Literacy/Social Studies Teachers. __Philosophy __Literacy instruction should be a focus in all classes. Social Studies has been paired with Literacy instruction in our 5th & 6th grade teaming structures because the content in this subject is best approached through teaching strategies for reading and writing in the content area.
