Sixth Grade

In sixth grade at Quail Run, students are exposed to many different and exciting subjects. During Social Studies, students study the impact of Ancient Civilizations on modern society, which includes a field trip to the Renaissance Festival. Science includes: oceans, weather, cells (human body), and creating a Science Fair Project. In Reading we do Literature Circles. We read novels, biographies and several other pieces of literature that support the various themes established throughout the year while focusing on comprehension of fiction and non-fiction pieces of work. Writing includes poetry, essays, expository and narrative pieces, and the development of power point presentations. Math includes instruction in Geometry, Algebra, and the application of math to real world situations. We use Excel math as a supplement to the district curriculum. 

Students will have the opportunity to participate in Junior Achievement’s BizTown. Biztown is a nationally recognized, innovative learning program that provides our students with an understanding of basic economic concepts and consumer skills they will use as adults. Through in-class instruction and the real-world simulation provided by Junior Achievement, students learn first hand what it takes to create a business, produce a newspaper, supervise employees, hold an elected office, and personally earn and manage money. 

Our curriculum is directed toward student mastery of grade-level state standards, developing life skills along the way. Our primary goal is to promote academic excellence and to provide a variety of strategies to help students succeed.
