The transition from 5th grade to 6th grade is an exciting one. It is full of new experiences, both encouraging and challenging. The students will now have 3 teachers daily. This will require the students to be organized and prepared. Please check the supply list so that your child can be ready for the first day of school. Students in the 6th grade will study the following this year: |
|
Language Arts Students will learn to “read like a detective, and write like an investigator.” Through the careful reading of both fiction and nonfiction texts, students will further develop their reading comprehension. The students will receive spelling and vocabulary words on a weekly basis. In addition, students will learn grammar. Click here for information, supplies, reading assignments, and a suggested reading list from Mrs. McLaughlin for 6th Grade ELA. |

Mathematics Students begin preparing for the rigors of high school by learning basic skills in whole numbers, fractions and decimals. In addition, sixth graders learn about percentage and probability and are introduced to geometry, measurement (i.e. perimeter and area), and integers. |
|
Religion Students learn about the history of our Christian faith by reading the Old Testament. They learn about the patriarchs of our faith, including Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses; about the great kings such as David and Solomon; and about the prophets, including Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah and Isaiah. Students also learn how to locate passages in the Bible. |
|
Social Studies Students learn about the ancient world and how it compares and contrasts with our world today by studying ancient Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, and ancient Greece. |
