Sixth Grade
Welcome to Sixth Grade!
This year students will be working on getting adjusted to middle school. They will have more responsibility, more independence, and hopefully more fun!
Sixth graders transition between different classes and different teachers throughout the day. Here is what they will be studying:
Religion class in 6th grade focuses on the Old Testament. Students will be using the Bible more often and exploring different types of prayer. They will also participate in service by visiting with residents at Courtyard at Mt. Tabor Assisted Living Facility.
This year in math class, students will be broken into two groups, either a regular or advanced pace 6th grade math class. Both classes will focus on 6th grade standards, such as fraction, decimals, equations, proportions, percents, and integers. The advanced class will spend more time with pre-algebra skills.
English Language arts will involve reading of a variety of texts, including short stories and novels. Students will will write many essays and will learn the writing process. They will learn various essay types: narrative, persuasive, compare/contrast, and they will study grammar along the way.
Science focuses on life science, from cells to ecology. Sixth graders get to dissect a frog and attend Outdoor School this year.
Social studies in sixth grade will focus on utilizing geography skills and learning about ancient world civilizations.
Students also have PE, health, music, library, art, and computer classes weekly.
