Language with Mr. Raymond

Students will be responsible for 20 spelling words every week of the school year.

Students will cover a new concept everyday in English and complete homework assignments on this new concept.

Each term two book reports will be required. One will be independent and the other will be read together in class.

Students should always have their own paperback book to read when time permits in class.


Math with Mrs. Ekstrom

The district has adopted a new version of Scott Foresman-Addison Wesley text to be used in grade 6. Students will be covering topics in all math strands including:

Number Sense and Operations

                 Patterns, Relations, and Algebra

Measurement

Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability

Students will be required to have 4 one subject notebooks for math (one for each quarter) and a composition book (to keep an MCAS portfolio).

The Grade 6 Science Curriculum explores Earth Science. Some of the topics include:

Inside Earth

The Earth’s Changing Surface
