Hello and welcome to 6th grade!

​

Students will explore core subjects—English, History, Science, and Math—while also engaging with Art, Music, PE, and contemporary global issues.

​

English will include novels such as Front Desk and Counting by 7s, offering diverse perspectives on immigration, identity, sexuality, and mental health. Students will practice the full writing process and study multiple genres, including biographies and argumentative essays. They will also strengthen memorization skills through monthly poetry recitations and build vocabulary using both grade-level and advanced words drawn from our readings.

​

In History, we will spend the year studying Ancient Civilizations, beginning with Early Humans and continuing through the fall of Ancient Rome. Students will learn to compare ancient societies with the modern world and consider how past cultures shape our present.

​

Science will focus on molecules and organisms, heredity, Earth’s systems, energy, and human impact on the environment. Students will participate in hands-on projects and experiments to deepen their understanding of scientific concepts.

​

In Math, students will encounter new challenges as they expand their knowledge of Algebra and Geometry and develop the skills needed for a successful transition to middle school.

​

Because I love art, I look forward to weaving artistic exploration into all subject areas. I also believe deeply in the importance of global citizenship. Throughout the year, we will examine current events and engage in thoughtful discussions that help us grow in empathy and awareness.

​

I’m excited to learn, create, and have fun together—and to grow as a community this year.
