US Grade 6
This full-year 6th grade curriculum is based on the Common Core Standards and encompasses reading, writing and math. The course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive education that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills.
Learners are welcome to join the class at any time. Although some class content will build from the previous week, it will not prevent the new learner from understanding the concept we are covering during the current week. For example, some weeks, learners may choose to continue a writing piece they started in a previous class, or we may continue reading a book we started in a class prior. In both these circumstances, new learners will be given all the information they need to be successful in class.
I believe in meeting learners at their current academic level and providing an encouraging learning environment to facilitate meaningful learning. Learners should come to class with paper and pencil or whiteboard. I encourage discussions and lots of interaction but also understand some learners prefer to refrain from participating and enjoy listening to class discussions.
Each subject taught (reading, writing, and math) will include a mini-lesson, group practice, and independent practice. Homework will be given based on what is covered during the week. The mini-lesson will include the new teaching point, which the teacher will demonstrate using interactive slides. Math instruction will consist of a worksheet provided by the teacher each week.
Reading topics will include identifying key ideas and details, analyzing craft and structure, comprehension and discussion. All lessons will be taught through reading a book together and to self. Learners will need to have a copy of the book used during class. The teacher will provide the book needed at least 2 weeks ahead of time.
