6th Grade – Mrs. Pam Nydeen

Welcome to Sixth Grade at Saint Mary Help of Christians School.

Sixth grade at Saint Mary Help of Christians School promises to be a year full of wonderful memories. We take pride and honor in being wonderful role models for the other students in the building while growing ourselves spiritually, academically, and socially.

Highlights of the sixth grade school year include serving mass, sharing the meaning of Christmas by casting the Christmas program, and helping to prepare for the Seder Meal during Lent. In our religion class we focus on salvation history. We study many people and events of the Old Testament and investigate the covenants that were formed.

Our days are filled gathering knowledge in many subject areas. Our language arts time is spent reading novels and well as other stories in our reading books while working on various forms of writing including fables, letters, research papers, essays, and digital presentations. In math we work on many concepts in order to increase our awareness of algebraic functions. In social studies we focus on ancient civilizations including Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. We also study the history of our state through a study of Minnesota history. Our science time is spent studying mixtures and solutions, models and designs, and food and nutrition. A highlight of our year is our trip to Long Lake Conservation Center.

We are blessed to use our last year at Saint Mary Help of Christians School to celebrate established relationships and build new ones. We love spending time with the younger students whenever we can and are proud of the comfortable relationship we have with each other. We look forward to be known as alumni of St. Mary H.O.C.
