Sixth Grade Philosophy
You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives. - Clay P. Bedford
An adventure is about to begin...
Welcome to the 6th grade classroom, a caring community in which students feel safe to explore and become creative independent thinkers. They will be leaders and active role models for the rest of the elementary students. There are a lot of adventures to be had in 6th grade including Outdoor School, stability balls for seating, a Manner’s Luncheon and fun Science labs. Come and join the fun!
