Sixth Grade

May 2010

 

Wow!  It’s difficult to believe that this is the very last trimester of the school year.  We have covered so much material and more interesting learning lies ahead.

        The Ancient worlds of Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, India, Rome, and Greece have been explored with much enthusiasm.  How and why Christianity began will be the theme of study for Social Studies Class.   After that, we will begin to study the Ancient world of the Americas.  The Olmec, Toltec, Aztec, Maya, and Inca are groups of Ancient civilizations that have greatly contributed to the development of the Americas. 

        Basic chemistry is the current unit of study in Science class.  Terms such as substance, mixture, element, and compound will be instrumental when lab activities are conducted.

        We will also begin the FAMILY LIFE PROGRAM, which explains human reproduction and Catholic morality.  The textbooks were sent home so the parent and child can discuss the content of the program.

        “Viva Las Vegas” is the song for the sixth grade portion of the school spring musical.  I hope to see you there!
