The 6th Grade Experience
Leading Students to Love God
In 6th grade, students should see that God made the world with order and systems that continue to repeat today in chemical building blocks of matter, in the processes of the earth and the universe, and mathematical operations with whole numbers, fractions, and integers. Sixth graders will learn the story of God and His people through the study of the Old Testament. See the full 6th Grade Curriculum Summary and Notebook System details.
