      ELA/Lit and Social Studies:

      • Language Arts/Literature: Grammar, vocabulary, spelling and punctuation are part of our ELA curriculum.  We will focus on these areas regularly throughout the year to advance our reading and writing skills and understanding of the English language.
      • Reading: We will read short stories, novels and poetry as well as informational texts to help prepare for the NYS test in March. We will read several novels that coincide with the Social Studies curriculum to enrich our understanding of ancient history. 
      • Writing: Strong paragraphs are paramount and will progress into longer essays. 6th grade focuses on textual details to support main ideas.  We write regularly in class focusing on strong, complex sentences to express increasingly complex ideas.  Essays are textually-based either literary or informational in nature.
      • Living Legends: This is the major research and writing project this year. It occurs mainly in the 2nd trimester.  Students choose an inspirational person who achieved greatness in his/her field of study, lived a moral life AND has made a  lasting, positive impact on society. The legend must adhere to guidelines set forth and approved by me. There is a live component of LL that involves dressing in character and delivering a speech. Students and parents love this project!

      Social Studies
      ​​​​​​​
      Like ELA/Lit, Social Studies focuses on reading and writing.  We write topical paragraphs and essays based on the informational texts read in class focusing on strong sentences, paragraphs and content. We also build our vocabulary skills pertinent to the ancient civilizations that we study.  Using a combination of textual and online resources to bring ancient history to life, this curriculum also works to prepare students for the NYState Exam in March.

      Sixth grade SS mainly focuses on the ancient civilizations beginning with pre-history, Mesopotamia, China, Greece, Rome, and Egypt.  With each unit we focus on the lasting contributions made by each society, and the impact that these ancient civilizations have had on the development of the USA. 

    • Math
      The Math program in place here at St. Anne’s offers an Advanced Pathway that begins acceleration during the later part of 6th grade. Acceleration continues throughout all of 7th grade. The 7th grade curriculum focuses on the PreAlgebra skills students will need in order to be prepared for a HS level Algebra 1 course in the 8th grade. During 8th grade, students are rigorously prepared for the Catholic High School Entrance exam, as well as the Common Core Algebra I Regents Exam.

    • Math - COMMON CORE ALGEBRA 1

      The Common Core Learning Standards:

      “The Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS) define progressions of learning that develop the major content of school mathematics over grades Pre-K through 12. When those standards are further connected to each other within a grade and throughout a sequence of lessons, a coherent story emerges of mathematics as an elegant subject in which the collective body of knowledge results from reasoning from a cohesive set of principles.”

      (source https://www.engageny.org/resource/grades-9-12-mathematics-curriculum-map)

      Science
      Students will study Earth Science. The course covers:

      • Maps as Models of the Earth
