Record daily all short term and long term assignments in the planner. I am happy to welcome your child to the sixth grade humanities program which encompasses social science and language arts. Social studies focuses on ancient civilizations and world geography.
Language arts includes the study of literature, writing, grammar and spelling.
Language skills are applied during the writing process. In addition to various compositions, student writing includes original poetry, stories, research projects and daily exercises and assignments. Short stories, novels, drama, poetry, nonfiction and essays are studied with an emphasis on reading comprehension, reflection and enjoyment. I look forward to an exciting and productive year working with your child. Sixth grade humanities, a three period blocked class, is a fully integrated course, incorporating the elements of language skills, literature, composition and history.
