Doing Deepens Discovery
Sixth graders become “map masters” in their study of world geography. They create a complete world map and learn physical geography components around the world, paying close attention to latitude and longitude.
Find Joy in the Pursuit
Students create crazy weather forecasts in Spanish. After researching various Spanish-speaking countries and weather, they use Spanish vocabulary and weather phrases to write and record a comical forecast.
Value Your Voice
In conjunction with National Poetry month, sixth graders have a Poetry Party featuring their own poems that they present to the class and to their families. After creating six different types of poems, each student selects a poem they want to present at the event.
Cultivate Kindness
Sixth graders are paired with our youngest students on campus to form buddy groups.They foster a strong bond through activities, free play, and learning more about each other throughout the year.
Put We Before Me
Sixth graders learn about the strength of the campus community and our local community. Team-building activities that require a collaborative peer effort help emphasize the strength of the Crane community. Service outreach at a local pre-school and a senior living community allows students to learn from and engage with different age groups within Santa Barbara.
