6th Grade Humanities

The Humanities course goal is for students to master the 6th Grade Common Core English Language Arts standards using a historical lens to understand people, cultures, and events from the past and the present. Students develop the stamina and strategies needed for independent comprehension and deep reading of complex narrative and informational texts. Students also develop mastery in select 6th Grade Common Core Social Studies standards to further support their speaking/listening, reading, writing, and thinking skills. Additional focus on language and academic vocabulary also help students build these skills. Students demonstrate their knowledge through assessment, research, writing and digital presentations.

Welcome Class of 2022!

Dear students and parents of the 6th grade:
 

Welcome to Jack H. Skirball Middle School! I am very excited to work with you to prepare students for college and career readiness. My goal is for each student to grow at least 2 to 3 years in their reading level.  Students will also develop strong writing skills.  The 6th grade had tremendous growth last year and I know we can do it again if we all work together. I have very high expectations of my students both at home and at school to make that happen.

It's going to be a fantastic year!

Ms. Wicks
