Resources to empower
Grades 4-6
As students move into the upper grades of elementary school, they are required to meet higher expectations both in and out of the classroom. Children in this age band will analyze complex content and express their learning in many ways using a variety of tools. By the end of 6th grade, students should be grade-level competent in both English Language Arts and math. Socially, they will make friends and understand social rules and consequences.
