It's going to be an exciting year!

Our 6th grade Earth Science curriculum, which will be inline with the NYS Science Standards, will include an in depth study of units of Astronomy, Planet Earth & Weather & Climate.  In addition there will be a variety of related hands-on lab activities, including a solar observation using a Celestron reflector telescope & a Thousand Oaks professional solar filter as well as a nighttime lunar observation.  Lastly, there will be a performance assessment project to be completed for each unit of study covered as well as a standard chapter test which will include an essay writing component.

6th Grade Health will include an in depth study of units in Food & Nutrition, Physical Fitness & Community, Health & Safety.

Homework is regularly assigned as reinforcement of learned material & will consisit of curriculum related topics that will be assigned Monday - Thursday.   However, at my discretion, homework will at times be done during class time.  All homework will be checked for completion and reviewed each day.
