Learning Focus
Sixth grade social studies focus is on World Cultures & Geography. As we travel through our curriculum, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) will set the parameters for our learning. The TEKS are organized into the following eight categories or strands: history, geography, economics, government, citizenship, culture, science, technology and society, and social studies skills. To learn more about the specific expectations in each strand, see the full TEKS document for 6th grade Social Studies at http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/rules/tac/chapter113/index.html.
