6th Grade Homeschool Curriculum Packages

History is a story — the story of real people, real families, real adventures, real triumphs and defeats, and real cultures. There's no reason a good story — especially a story well told — should ever be boring! Sonlight’s sixth grade homeschool curriculum is all about fostering students' ability to think critically and make connections. This year, you have two options for History: American History or the Eastern Hemisphere.

There is no wrong choice for you and your sixth grader, it is an opportunity to connect and learn from very different perspectives. It has all the makings of a great year.

6th Grade History / Bible / Literature Programs

During your 6th grade year, you have the choice to study very different times and places in the world: American History, or our focused look at the Eastern Hemisphere.

If you choose American History, you'll be introduced to the "go-getters" that expanded our country, brought people together and created a country that was unlike anything seen before in the "old world" of Europe.

Or you can choose one of our most unique programs: a full-year exploration of Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the South Pacific in the Eastern Hemisphere program. Why would you choose this? Well, not only does a huge percentage of the world's population call the Eastern Hemisphere home, but ninety percent of all unevangelized people live there. As part of learning about other places, cultures, and ultimately God's heart of the whole world, we want you to be able to explore these rich and beautiful lands and peoples.

Sonlight's 6th grade homeschool curriculum will help your children develop and understand the world today by seeing how we got to where we are. It will help them understand their own and other's cultures by seeing the connections between history and today's world.

Start with the History / Bible / Literature program of your choice and add additional subjects. History / Bible / Literature programs can be used with multiple children. All History / Bible / Literature programs include a 15% discount off of retail.

Sonlight's 6th Grade Science: Science F | Health, Medicine, and Human AnatomySonlight's 6th Grade Science: Science F | Health, Medicine, and Human Anatomy

Science

The human body, anatomy, gender differences, reproduction, health and nutrition, and survival skills, these are key components of Sonlight's Science F, the matching Science level included in the 6th grade All-Subjects Package.

This year you have a choice between a Boys and a Girls package. Why? Because we include one of two gender-specific titles.These are easily digested books that help your children as they grow up with simple suggestions and commentary on things like hair care and how to keep clean. There is also a three-week unit on survival skills (a unit we felt related to health and human physiology).

Your children will also learn about geology, fossils, evolution and intelligent design so they are able to understand, and respond to, the broad discussion of the earth's formation. The Unlocking the Mystery of Life DVD shows evidence of an Intelligent Designer and adds depth to the origin of life conversation.

The hands-on experiments this year take place in the kitchen and look at food and how the body uses that fuel. So, the few science supplies you'll need should be available in your home.

Choose the matching 6th Grade Science level (Science F) or browse other available Science programs and see what you could discover.

Additionally, your children will learn about exponents, negative numbers, using properties of operations to simplify algebraic expressions, graphing variables, plane geometry and geometric symbols and more.

Math-U-See is included in Sonlight's All-Subjects Packages, but you can customize as desired.

6th Grade Language Arts - Sonlight Language Arts F6th Grade Language Arts - Sonlight Language Arts F

Language Arts

This year in 6th grade, your children will learn grammar, still-essential mechanics, how to research and work on creative expression. Their writing skills will grow as they explore different styles, learn literary analysis and take on increasingly challenging assignments.

All of your sixth grade Language Arts assignments are laid out in our Language Arts Instructor's Guide. Each lesson is scripted and includes rubrics (a simple scale so you can easily see where your child is falling on each assignment) in an easy-to-use format. Mechanics are explained in simple terms, and you can see real examples of the type of writing your children should be doing.

If your children would benefit from another level, check out all of Sonlight's Language Arts options here.
