SIXTH GRADE

Sixth grade students are scheduled into a core academic block, exploratory classes, physical education, music, and a lunch period each day. The core subjects of language arts, reading, social studies, math and science are taught by a team of teachers. During another part of the day, students alternate physical education and music. Music offerings include band, orchestra, guitar and choir/drama. Exploratory classes meet daily. Students have the opportunity to explore different elective areas throughout the year. These areas may include art, shop, computer skills, math skills, studies skills, drama or applied technology. (Actual course offerings are based on facility availability, teacher expertise and number of sixth grade students.) Students with strong study and language skills (spelling, writing, and grammar) may take the first year of either Spanish or French in lieu of exploratory classes.
