Welcome to Sixth Grade!

  Sixth grade students are getting used to changing classes and learning to be more responsible for their work. In language arts, students focus on literature and composition. Students learn the elements of literature. They also read a variety of novels and prepare book reports. The writing curriculum is co-taught, allowing for two teachers in the classroom with the students as they learn grammar rules and usage and different types of writing styles. Sixth grade accelerated and regular math both require students to keep track of homework, quizzes and tests. Each student is required to keep a math notebook, which is checked throughout the year. Science covers four major units: earth's materials, changing surface of the earth, earth's internal processes, and astronomy. These units are supplemented by drug abuse and health units. Social studies covers Africa, ancient civilizations and medieval times, and students will be assessed on small and large projects in addition to homework, quizzes and tests. In religion, students study the elements of our faith.
