Welcome to Mr. Grabowska's

                  6th Grade                           

• Math will be using Book 1 in the Junior High Math series.  This will better prepare students for Junior High and High School math courses. 
• Math will utilize a variety of formative and summative assessments models.  The formative assessments will be used to group kids for re-teaching and advancement purposes.  Summative tests will be given after each unit and will be announced in advance.

• We will begin with a unit on Physical Properties.  We will investigate and study physical properties, elements and atoms and chemical changes.  Science will also have a huge emphasis on the five processing skills (Observation, Classification, Measurement, Predicting and Inferring).
• The rest of the Science year will include units on life science, forces and energy, astronomy, earth science and the human body.
