I Am Ready For 6th Grade! 6th Grade Readiness

Welcome to 6th Grade Readiness!  In this class learners will meet 3x per week to ensure they are ready for 6th grade.  This class includes writing skills, math concepts, science, geography and reading skills.  All taught material is concepts taught in 5th grade.  This is a kind of crash course review for 5th grade.  We will meet for 4 weeks so 12 total meetings.  Each meeting will cover a different concept and will all come with homework.  These aren't things that need to be done before the next class but rather sheets they can work on throughout the summer to continue going over their concepts.  

Wild and Unstructured Learning is a hands on company.  This class will have a lot of different hands on activities to reinforce their learning experience.  Here is a full breakdown of what we will go over throughout class together.

We will spend this week paying close attention to the areas we notice that could improve.  This week will be tailored based on the  previous 3 weeks. 

Each week learners will do different science experiments and make hands on geography art as well as really work hard on their reading and math.  This class is perfect for any student who is going to start 6th grade concepts soon.
