The language arts and reading students will develop the reading and listening skills necessary for word recognition, comprehension, interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and appreciation of print and non-print text.

BMS also has a program called Read 180.  This class is designed for students who struggle with reading and whose test scores indicate intervention is needed.

Science:

In sixth grade science, students will learn earth and space science, life science, and physical science.  In life science students will learn interactions between living things and their environment.  In earth and space, they will learn the relationships between the Earth and its place in the universe.  And in physical science, students will investigate energy and its uses.

Social Studies:

Sixth grade social studies centers on the Ancient Civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China. Then there is a shift to Europe where students engage  in the study of Ancient Greece and Rome.  From there, the period called the "Middle Ages" serves as a connection between ancient and modern times.  The ideas during this period affect the arts, science, and the ways people viewed the world and their place in it.  Each of the above studies includes economics, geography, governance/civics, and history.

Math:

The math curriculum helps students develop the number and operation sense needed to represent numbers and numerical relationships verbally, symbolically, and graphically.  They also learn to compute fluently and reasonable estimates in problem solving.  Students will be placed in math classes using IAI scores and TCAP scores.
