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!
