Sixth Grade Science<br />

MICRO-LIFE<br />

The sixth grade science class will be studying viruses and simple organisms. We will<br />

make models of viruses, and be working with microscopes to identify certain bacteria and protists.<br />

Students will create a booklet of the protists they identify under their microscopes. They<br />

will see organisms like amoebas, euglenas, and paramecia. As we finish studying protists, students<br />

will create a protist of their own at home using any materials they wish.<br />

Math 6<br />

During <strong>January</strong> the sixth grade mathematicians will learn how to write and solve problems<br />

involving ratios, rates, and proportions. Students will also be learning about the relationship<br />

between percents, decimals, and fractions. Encourage your child to calculate the tax on a<br />

purchase or the tip for services rendered.<br />

6th Grade World History<br />

This month in World History we will be learning about the ancient Romans. As part of our study of the Romans,<br />

each student will be making a brochure. A letter that explains the project will be sent home with your<br />

child on Thursday, <strong>January</strong> 3rd. The brochure will be worth 100 points and will be due on Wednesday, February<br />

13th. If your child uses their class time well, they should be able to complete the entire project at school.<br />

Please check to see how your child is progressing on this project when we start it. If you have any questions<br />

about the brochure, please contact Mr. Tronoff.
