Merri Emerson, Sixth Grade
memerson@pottervalleyschools.us
Mrs. Emerson’s Sixth Grade Class is thought provoking, engaging and fun! Students experience a variety of challenging classroom and online activities. They will explore literary genres, ponder ethical questions and literary themes, practice writing expressions and equations, and discover how science affects their daily lives. Students also explore ancient civilizations. The students learn to collaborate not only by communicating in traditional ways, but also through technology. 6th graders enjoy utilizing their writing and researching skills through slide shows and group projects in History and Science. They love writing and typing their stories on the computer. Students strengthen their writing through narrative, expository and persuasive essays. It is always fun to hear those stories read aloud! With EnvisionMath2.0, students can practice their math skills at school and at home, through online experiences. Our 6th grade students have co-curricular studies in: Computers, Art, Choir, Physical Education and Library.
Students are entering a new stage of growth and discovery. The 6th grade is the oldest class in the elementary school, allowing students to be role models to our younger students, K-5. Sixth grade students work with Kindergarten buddies with reading and gardening. In 6th grade, students have the opportunity to be on Student Council and participate in our Junior High School sports program in volleyball and basketball. 6th grade also goes on Science excursions to help expose the students to hands-on learning in our rural town where nature abounds, on the Mendocino coast or other educational learning spots within Mendocino County and northern California regions.
