Welcome to 6th Grade

About Me: Hello there! I'm Paige Wood, and I've been passionately teaching for 28 years. My journey as an educator has been an exciting adventure, and I'm thrilled to be sharing it with you. With experience spanning 28 years, I've had the privilege of shaping young minds and creating a positive impact on countless students' lives. For the past 19 years, I have also been honored to travel the country training educators in Schoolwide Writing, Critical Reading, and Student Success strategies. 

Teaching Philosophy: I believe in fostering a nurturing and engaging learning environment that encourages curiosity and critical thinking. My goal is to inspire my 6th-grade students to become lifelong learners, confident problem solvers, and compassionate individuals. Every student has a unique potential waiting to be unlocked, and I'm dedicated to helping them discover it.

Family and Personal Life: Aside from being a devoted teacher, I'm also a proud mother of two wonderful Frenship Tigers. They keep me on my toes and remind me of the joys of learning every day. My husband, a professor at Texas Tech University, and I share a love for education, and our discussions often revolve around the exciting world of teaching and learning.

 

Contact Me: I value open communication. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or ideas you might have. Let's work together to make this year of learning truly remarkable!

Thank you for visiting my website. Let's embark on a year filled with growth, discovery, and inspiration together!

Warmly,

Paige Wood

How to Succeed in 6th grade?

Organize your materials.

Use an agenda planner each day to keep track of assignments. 

- Turn in work on time. Often assignments build on each other, so if you miss an assignment, you might struggle with future assignments. 

Prioritize homework & extracurricular activities.

Review grades & progress weekly on Skyward.
