Specials Guidance and Counseling - Guidance classes as well as small group lessons and individual guidance assistance are an integral part of the school curriculum. Guidance lessons are designed to promote student growth in three areas: social/emotional domain, academic/educational domain, and career/occupational domain. The school counselor works with staff and parents in various ways to support a positive school experience for all students. Art - Big Ideas 1. Communicating: People communicate ideas and feelings through art. Concept 1. People in Art From the earliest times, artists from all cultures have shown people in art. They have painted portraits or carved likenesses from wood or stone. Concept 2. Stretch Your Imagination Artists continue to search for new ways to capture viewers imaginations. Such as art movements and art techniques that have changed the way people view and appreciate art. 2. Problem Solving: People solve problems through art. Concept 1. Moments in Time Artists create artworks that preserve a moment in time. They may capture an event, a mood, or even the way light and shadows appear. Concept 2. The Artist s Environment Artists may draw inspiration from their environments, but sometimes they create new environments. Artists create environments such as landscapes, architecture, garden designs, and murals. 3. Connecting: Art is a means of connecting people to the world. Concept 1. Art Reflects Culture Artists from different cultures express their thoughts and feelings about the world in ways that have special meaning to them. Concept 2. Nature Inspires Art The beauty of the natural world provides inspiration for many artists, to create natural objects and scenes Elements Line Sketch Color Monochromatic Shape Two Dimensional Focus

8 Spanish Sixth Grade Goals In Sixth grade, our goals are to provide opportunities for children to do the following: To apply within a limited context the sound patterns in Spanish To hear and respond to a series of simple directions, instructions and commands in Spanish To name and identify vocabulary related to the unit of study To produce oral language by imitating, singing, rhyming and responding with learned words and phrases To exchange basic information and interact with peers, using phrases and questions Sixth Grade Activities Some activities in the Sixth grade Spanish classes include the following: Singing, games, and movement Counting, graphing, sorting, etc. Listening to stories Learning about cultural similarities and differences Following directions Responding with simple words and phrases Writing simple sentences, descriptions and preferences Writing a personal communication such as a note, letter, or invitation Present prepared material to an audience Technology - Technology is taught sequentially from Kindergarten through sixth grade. New skills are introduced at each grade level. Mastery of age appropriate skills begins in second grade and continues on. Performance indicators have been determined for each grade and check lists have been developed to track the growth of skills for each student. Skills have been divided into 5 general areas with specific skills in each area. Skills Mastered at Sixth Grade Learn how to use the help function of programs Organize files into folders Keyboard at 30 wpm with 93% accuracy Use advanced multimedia techniques (e.g. animations, web links) Develop graphic organizers for web page production Create a web page using text, graphics and links Demonstrate advanced online search strategies
9 Classroom Procedures Homework Procedures and Expectations - Students will usually have homework each day. The amount of homework will depend on how well they use their time in school. They will have opportunities throughout the day when they may work on their homework assignments. Homework is expected to be completed by the following day. Ten percent will be deducted on assignments turned in one day late. Assignments two or more days late will receive a zero grade and a detention. Discipline Policy - Our discipline policy is based upon Bennington Public Schools core DWP skills. DWP - Discipline with Purpose is a nationally acclaimed program that is built on the idea that children and adults can and should become self-disciplined. This program has a framework of 15 skills that a self-disciplined adult should have. The skills can be taught to children and practiced for a life time. Within the sixth grade classroom we have also integrated our own discipline policy. We use a three strikes in one day policy. If a student gets their name on the clipboard for any reason it is called a strike. Reasons include: late work, talking, running in hall, disrespectful behavior, among others. Strike One has no consequence for the student. Two strikes in one day results in a loss of recess. The third strike in one day results in a detention after school and a referral to the principal. If a student accumulates five strikes in one week, a detention and referral to the principal will be issued to the student. Friday Folders - Students will have a folder that will be sent home each Friday containing important notices and recently corrected papers. This folder must be signed by a guardian and returned to school the following school day. Please take the time to look through your student s folder each week! Thank you! Report Cards - Each quarter students will receive a report card. In sixth grade, students will receive a percentage grade, which corresponds with a letter grade for the core subject areas of Reading, Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, Spelling, and Math. The grade scale is as follows. A+ = % B+ = 91-92% C+ = 84-85% D+ = 75-76% A = 98-95% B = 88-90% C = 79-83% D = 73-74% A- = 93-94% B- = 86-87% C- = 77-78% D- = 70-72% F = 69% and below Assessment of Learning - The school system assesses students according to procedures in its local assessment plan, which meets the assessment requirements specified by the Nebraska Department of Education s Rule 10: Regulations and Procedures for the Accreditation of Schools. There are local assessments for each of the state standards listed above. We use the Terra Nova Standardized Achievement test during the spring as another measurement of student growth.
