Updated for the 2021-2022 Co-op year!
Sixth grade is designed to help students have a good first impression and a smooth transition into their secondary years. The focus is not only on the academic growth, but also on the skills needed to achieve their goals and be prepared for the obstacles to come. We spend time helping them build organizational skills, keep track of different assignments and deadlines, and develop their time management skills. These are tools that will help them have the confidence to take on and excel at the next level.
Science: Our 6th Grade Science class is designed to help prepare your student for course work at the secondary level. This year students will be studying anatomy and physiology. Students will work on reading for important information, note taking skills, and building scientific vocabulary. Students will be given assignments to complete throughout the week usually taking approximately 30 minutes per day. We will be doing experiments throughout the year to help students become more familiar with the scientific method.

Included with the student handouts are complete teacher’s notes, source texts, assignments, and checklists. Weekly homework will be assigned, and students will be expected to bring their completed assignments to class each FTK class day for sharing and assessment by the tutor. Parents may assign grades based on completion of weekly checklist.
