Welcome to 6th Grade!
Ms. Moran, Mr. Veth and Mr. MacPhail have planned many fun learning activities and field trips throughout the year.  As a Science, Math, and Technology school we offer event based learning, science inquiry, and technology integration.  Click on the links below to find out more about our special projects.

Monarchs in the Classroom
Students observe the life cycle of the monarch butterfly in their classroom. As the monarchs grow, we conduct investigations based on students' questions.

Digital Photography
6th grade students learn photographic techniques throughout the year. The photographs are displayed for all to enjoy.

Science Units
We have five science units that introduce students to a wide variety of science topics.

Lego Robotics
Students learn engineering and programming skills while working with Legos and laptops. We work together collaboratively to prepare for the Robot Competition in December.

Clay Animation
Students demonstrate knowledge of a science or health topic by creating a clay animation.
