This years curriculum is called CSCOPE and it bases all lessons on student engagement through the use of activities and an interactive journal. The sixth grade scope and sequence are designed to connect to the way students think by drawing on their prior knowledge and relating Social Studies to their everyday lives. The students will often work together in groups to share ideas and discover the world we live in. Our goal is to prepare and educate students to maximize their potential in being productive members of society. Instruction will be based on the EISD curriculum, aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) requirements. Materials needed for Class
All Supplies and materials are supplied by the district.
