Sixth Grade

Ms. Martha Fredenburg

.

Sixth grade is full of new things, not just academically but also lots of new routines. Students have lockers for the first time and change classes for academics.

Sixth grade also has special curriculum and activities. In math, we will spend quite a bit of time working with decimals and fractions. We even introduce some of the very beginnings of algebra. Science covers a broad range of topics like volcanoes, the human body, and the classification of animals. This is all done from the perspective of how wonderful our creation is that God has made. History covers the years from 1815 through the present. We will discuss the Erie Canal, the Alamo, the Civil War, etc. Students will read a variety of novels in reading class and are also required to write book reports. Our language program will have the students classifying sentences which enable them to label every word in the sentence and also helps them to improve their own writing.

Latin and logic are also some of the exciting components to our upper grade program at Memorial Lutheran School. Religion is being taught this year by Vicar Janssen and covers the first half of Luther's Small Catechism. There is a lot of learning going on in our sixth grade program!
