6th grade computer curriculum
Our 6th grade computer class will be introduced to internet research, computation and graphing on Microsoft Excel, word processing on Word, and creating presentations and presenting using Powerpoint. They will also learn keyboarding.
Salmon Watch
Our six graders this year are very fortunate to be able to continue with the Salmon watch curriculum this year. Due to budget cuts it was thought that this curriculum would be lost but thanks to many dedicated teachers and some financial backing from EWEB we will be able to continue learning about Salmon. These photos are from last years trip when the sixth grade science classes went on a field trip near Triangle Lake. The purpose of the trip was to observe salmon spawning, to conduct field tests and to collect data for the Fresh Water Trust.
Building Community
This is one of my previous health classes (6th grade). We were doing a community building activity in health. This activity was to encourage teamwork and cooperation.
Nutrition and fitness
The first couple of weeks of health will be focusing on nutrition and fitness. Your student spent a couple of days tracking their diet and comparing it to the recommended nutritional guidelines. They will also be tracking their levels of activity for the next week. We will be setting goals for ourselves related to our eating habits as well as exercise goals. Please take some time to chat with them regarding some of their goals and how they plan to accomplish them.
