Exploration of science advances with hands on experiments and active student participation in the scientific process. Keyboarding, formatting word processed products and database skills are emphasized in technology. Fifth grade is a time of social, emotional and physical growth which is fostered by focusing on not only the IB attitudes and student profile, but through D.A.R.E., the Advisory program, and the study of human growth and development. As a bridge for students between the PYP and MYP programmes, they participate in an exhibition project which showcases transdiciplinary skills, attitudes, and student profile. 6th Grade Sixth grade at McGraw is in the application phase of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme.
Sixth grade is a departmentalized academic program suitable for the middle level student.
An ecological unit is incorporated into Science and Humanities. Student responsibility, supported with teacher guidance, is an intrinsic part of our program. Special classes of Spanish, Art, Music, and Physical Education are an important part of the sixth graders' day. Knowing that social time is essential to the complete development of a middle level child, time is provided each day for recess and snack time.
