SIXTH GRADE
We regard our 6th graders as special individuals who have grown to become our leaders and are now about to embark on the next stage of their journey. As leaders of our community, the 6th graders have many responsibilities such as helping to create their Meadowbrook School Yearbook pages, establishing close ties with their younger buddies, participating in D.A.R.E., assisting younger students during ice-skating sessions, and leading school assemblies and special events. The journey through 6th grade provides a smooth transition from an elementary school environment to that of middle school.
WHAT WE DO IN SIXTH GRADE
Language Arts: Sixth graders continue to grow as readers and writers while exploring a wide range of genres—from science fiction and mystery to biography, mythology, and adventure. They build comprehension through novel studies, discussions, and projects while strengthening their writing with journals, essays, and creative assignments. Students learn to compare and contrast ideas, assess characters, and express opinions clearly. We use Fountas & Pinnell to provide strong support for both reading and writing.
​
Math: With Math in Focus, students learn to approach problems in different ways, practice real-world applications, and explain the reasoning behind their math choices. This helps them become confident, flexible problem-solvers.
​
Social Studies: Students journey through world history, beginning with Mesopotamia and Egypt and moving through Greece, Rome, and the Middle Ages. They discover how civilizations developed, how cultures influenced one another, and how the past connects to the present.
