In kaleidoscope, geometric patterns and colors collide to form ever-changing images. When the scope is shaken, the images blur and reform, creating new designs. The Grade 6 student is continuously adapting to new environments and expectations. The myriad of feelings, fears, and anticipation is the foundation for this year's instruction. The English 6 and Reading 6 curriculum has been developed to give students insight into their own uniqueness, to explore relationships, to learn successfully, and to experience new adventures.
Students experience texts of different genres and forms related to four thematic units.
They participate in a variety of individual and instructional strategies that help them develop skills and make literary and interdisciplinary connections. Language instruction, including grammar study, is based on individual student needs. There are four thematic units all related to the overarching theme, Kaleidoscope.
