Sixth Grade

Sixth graders had a great start to the year. They are currently working on their second STEAM challenge, re-creating a scene from a classic horror novel or movie (teacher selected). They have certain requirements for characters, walls, and including at least 1 simple machine, then they get extra points for other features they might want to include such as doors/windows, stairs/second story, fireplace, etc. They will also get bonus points if their scene is chosen (by other Soar students in other grades) as the most creative or artistic. They have also started their unit on mysteries. They learned important terms related to mysteries and solving crimes. They are currently working on solving the "Mystery at the Museum." Logic puzzles, research, and quiz bowl practice are also part of their Soar day.
