Sixth grade is a pivotal year in a child's education. As a transitional year, I expect students to graduate Mountain School self-disciplined, hard working, organized, and academically prepared for junior high. Sixth grade curriculum is packed with diverse social studies and science themes that we will explore through the language arts. Math and reading will be especially structured so that instruction and activities are catered to each child's ability level. Through thematic units, holistic instruction, practice exercises, and diverse projects, I aim to teach the required academic standards with both breadth and depth.
