Grade 6

Focus– The Word of God in the Old Testament

"Your word is lamp for my feet, a light for my path." Psalm 119:105

How Do Sixth Graders Learn?

Sixth graders are beginning to learn about world history in the public schools, and they are beginning to question what their personal values are. Because they have a better idea of how the history of a society impacts the social structures of the present, sixth graders can look at the content of the Hebrew Scriptures and make connections with the Gospels and Epistles of the New Testament. They are also capable of understanding how Sacred Tradition and Scripture can strengthen their faith today. 

What Do Sixth Graders Learn?

The sixth-grade curriculum focuses on making the connections between how Jesus lived to fulfil what the Prophets wrote and what happens in the Church today. They will learn about Salvation History by discovering the roots of our faith.

Grade Level Information

March9-March 24

Unit 6-Sacraments-looks at the mission of the Church through the Sacraments of Initiation and the Sacraments at the Service of Communion.

In Chapter 16 we learn that all baptized persons are called to spread the good news, or gospel. Focusing on page 228, ask your children how they can be an agent of love for God.

In Chapter 17 we look at the Sacraments of vocation and how these Sacraments (Holy Orders, Marriage) help build communities through service to others. Share with your child a time that you felt God's call to help others.



In Chapter 18 we learn how families work together to serve others. The family is called Domestic Church because the family is the basic unity of society as well as the one Church. Talk to your child about ways your family demonstrates the teachings of the Church outside your home.
