The sixth grade is happy to celebrate Lutheran Schools! We’ve enjoyed all this week’s activities. We are studying the middle ages in social studies class. In science class we are working with sound waves, specifically the Doppler effect. We are multiplying and dividing fractions and mixed numbers in math. We just finished reading "Where the Heart is" and "Bringing Tang Home" in literature class. In religion class we are studying Jesus’ healing and miracles. We are anticipating our trip to Camp Tecumseh next week, as well as the joyous celebration of Easter! Parents are reminded that Camp Tecumseh signed forms are due March 10. March is gonna go by fast! - Mr. Arndt

The sixth grade is continuing its study of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in our religion class. We have finished looking at the religion of Islam in social studies and are starting to look at the history of Japan. In math, we are adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers. We are looking at the progressive and perfect verb tenses in English. Get ready for a shock. In science, we are studying electricity. Mr. Arndt

Sixth grade is finished with ISTEP’s! We enjoyed having a little less homework, but we still worked hard during testing. We’re looking at the New Testament in our religion class. In math we are working with different kinds of graphs. We are studying arachnids and insects in our science class. In social studies, we are studying the civilization of ancient China. Fall is here and we are looking forward to some cooler days as well. Mr. Arndt

Sixth grade is off and running! We’ve started strongly. We’re just finishing our first unit in math. We learned about PEMDAS, and took an oath not to multiply the base times the exponent. In science we are studying the world of sponges and worms. In literature, we have been reading a story called "The Bridegroom," along with several others. In social studies we are experiencing the wonders of ancient Egypt and Nubia. We studied the prepositions, made prepositional punks, and witnessed a commercial for the El-Slice-O-Matic and Smash-O-Matic in our English class. Finally, in religion, we are looking at the books of the Old Testament. We are seeing how these books point ahead to our Savior. We are thankful for the blessings He has given us so far this year and pray His continued blessing on the rest of the year.
