What's on the calendar for 6th grade?
Dear SMM Families,
This is a reminder that any birthday treat that is sent to school must be store-bought and pre-packaged. This has been policy since the beginning of the school year and was not implemented solely as a COVID-19 precaution. This is meant to protect our students with known and unknown food allergies. An ingredient list on any treat brought in is very important if any allergy-related questions should arise. This will remain in effect for the remainder of the school year and, at this time, will remain in the handbook for the 2022-2023 school year.
READING: Journeys series
We will be continuing with the Journeys series that the children are familiar with since first grade.
There are some changes in 6th grade, as we are a bridge year to the Middle School program.
We will be focusing on Reading skills, as well as the selection in the text. We do not use the workbook or the spelling words in the Journeys series.
(The Journeys series is available in an online version.)
Reading: The story "Number The Stars" NOT a tested story, but an important topic.
Social Studies: A History of the World McGraw Hill series
We are entering Medieval Times A.D. 495- 1465
We have moved into Chapter19 about Medieval Times.
We have worked through Lesson One and are just beginning Lesson 2
Keep your notes and answers in order...a follow-up exercise is just around the corner.
6th grade Social Studies covers Ancient Cultures.
This is the order we usually cover the civilizations.
Pre-history, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, India, China, Ancient African cultures, Carthage,
Roman Empire, Invasion of the Barbarians, Medieval Ages, the Rennaissance.
NOTE: We do NOT do the whole textbook; we only do the 12 civilizations listed!
This is an introduction, not an in-depth study.
