6th Grade Olympian Team

Picture
Sixth grade is a transitional year with a myriad of new experiences.  Some of these changes and challenges include a longer school day, working with multiple teachers, and transitioning between classes.  On a daily basis, students will be exposed to an interdisciplinary curriculum that encompasses reading, writing, social studies, science, math, physical education, and encore classes. Teachers work with students to create individual goals that will foster growth, independence, responsibility, time management and problem solving skills.

By June students will be expected to be able to make judgments, comparisons, and raise questions.  Students will also be expected to express themselves in written and oral communication across subject areas with proper text evidence, support and elaboration.  In all subject areas, students will use appropriate resource materials to observe, investigate and demonstrate their knowledge.


Key events of the 2010-2011 school year:
  • Large-scale culminating projects
  • Goal-Setting
  • Career/College Day
  • Yearly Field Trip
  • Field Day
  • Cultural Days
