Mrs. Zapcic

Welcome to Grade 6!

As a Middle School student, there will be many changes. Probably the most obvious of these changes is the departmental schedule that is followed in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades. The students change classes and have different teachers for their various subjects. While this may seem a little overwhelming at first, it will, in a matter of days, seem easy. DON’T WORRY! The teachers are here to help.

Our focus in Religion this year is the Old Testament. We will be learning about our ancestors in faith.

In the beginning of the year we will be touring Egypt in our Social Studies class, while visiting the pyramids, and learning about important people and cultures of these early people.

In Math class we will brush up on our basic skills, and begin to work with orders of operation, place value, and problem solving activities.

We begin our study of Vocabulary with Vocabulary Workshop, the first in a series of books, which are an excellent preparation for the SAT tests.

We look forward to a wonderful year!
