Ask your sixth grader about fractions they'll be fountains of fractional facts and figures. This month we'll begin a unit on the senses complete with the learning of some basic sign language, understanding how the Braille System works, and the reading of The Miracle Worker. We'll continue to work on combining simple sentences to improve writing skills as well as utilizing other spelling techniques to help with the most commonly misspelled words. Math was everywhere even then. Some will require more background work, some will rely more heavily on research.
Variety is the spice of the Science Fair.
