Sts. Philip and James School

& Academy 

WELCOME TO 6th GRADE!!  We have a wonderful and exciting year ahead of us!  This year, we will be growing in our Catholic faith as we learn about the lives of the Saints and study the Old Testament.  Our class will read some really cool novels, become experts in Greek Mythology and travel around the world, as we learn about ancient world civilizations.  Every Wednesday afternoon, we will take part in Academy Electives.  These electives allow our students to participate in challenging and engaging enrichment activities, while interacting and socializing with their peers in 5th grade.  Elective choices have included learning higher level thinking games such as chess and "math 24", speech and debate, "Super Stem", and chemistry.  There is so much to learn and do in 6th grade and I am so excited to begin our new school year!  It will be challenging but lots of fun so get ready...get set...GO!
