As the student's understanding of proper computer use increases, the more complex commands are taught. Menu options, toolbars, and keyboard shortcuts are used to manipulate text or data. Some introduction of spreadsheets and databases is done with simple projects such as creating an address book. As in all grades, topics for writing are related to general and Judaic studies. How to ask questions in order to find answers is stressed.
Research using the Internet is introduced.
The sixth graders use the computer lab to design, create, and produce a newsletter 3-4 times per year. This newsletter is distributed to all students and staff. The students come to the HDI library once a week. Stories are read to the lower grades, and even sometimes to the fifth and sixth graders. Research skills are stressed.
