The sixth grade social studies program will focus on the economic and political institutions of selected world regions, as well as the impact of geography on those civilizations. Students will learn about the individuals, ethnic groups, and events that shaped today’s modern cultures. This course will also enhance skills associated with maps and globes, reading, language arts (writing and reference skills) and reasoning, with a consistent focus on human relations, citizenship and values. Students will learn and develop critical thinking skills necessary to compete in today’s global environment.
