      In sixth grade, our focus is on Earth and Space Science.  Our studies promote phenomena-based learning as we explore topics including Earth’s Systems (air, energy, and water), the Dynamic Earth, and the Geological History of our Earth.  In addition, we study Earth’s natural resources and conclude with Life Science topics that explore the human impact on Earth’s systems and ecosystem dynamics.  

      English Language Arts

      Students take the final step across the bridge from learning to read to reading to learn. Students will read many different genres.  Comprehension skills such as cause and effect, inferencing, chronological order, and author’s purpose are reviewed through a variety of literary and informational texts.  Reading strategies are practiced, such as monitoring, visualizing, connecting, and predicting.  New concepts such as conflict, plot diagrams, and figurative language are introduced.  Students generate numerous pieces of writing, including narratives, arguments, and expository responses to texts.  There is an emphasis on vocabulary acquisition, spelling, and grammar. Students are also well-prepared for the New York State English Language Arts Assessment.


      Social Studies

      Students will study World History. Ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Greece, Egypt, Rome, and China will be explored. Students will also study the Renaissance and European Industrial Revolution.
