Grade 6
A highlight of 6th grade is the Big Dig, a combined Language Arts/Social Studies project that explores the culture, history, and discovery of ancient cultures. Students learn about ancient cultures and how those cultures came to be the way they are in two different classes. Each class then creates their own culture and makes artifacts for it in art class, which teachers bury. Students from one class dig up the artifacts made by the other and try to piece together what they’ve found and what it teaches them about the created culture.
