What an exhilarating time you are entering! Your child is moving towards another turbulent time of change. The word "adolescence" literally means "the process of developing from a child into an adult." Throughout the year, Daily Wonder will offer parent education and reflective tools to help support you as the parent of a pre-teen! How wonderful to guide your child from a place of trust and inner knowing that they are right where they should be. As your child reaches for more independence, they meet the world with a critical eye. This critical eye comes with a powerful emotional burst, and the logical aspect will still be developing over the next few years.
The Grade 6 curriculum offers your child scientific phenomena to observe and practice reporting objectively. In addition, the history curriculum moves away from myth and into recorded history, with many biographies of historical figures to discuss and debate, which will satisfy your child on many levels, and they will flourish through Daily Wonder!

MONTH 1: The Wonder of the Geology
The study of Geology brings your child down to the earth, with a focus on the layers that make up the very ground upon which we stand. The local landscape offers excellent opportunities to explore the wonders of the mineral world. Charles Kovacs' book; Geology informs this unit.
MONTH 2: The Wonder of the Roman Times
The Wonder of Roman Times unit connects beautifully to Ancient Greece (covered in the Grade 5 year). With some mythical stories of Rome’s beginning, we move into the historical life and times of the Roman Empire and see the foundation of structure and ideas that we utilize in our lives today.
MONTH 3: The Wonder of Geometry
An introduction to the compass and protractor takes place—the wonder of the tools that allow for precision in geometry. A balanced artistic and mathematical experience unfolds as your child awakens to the beauty and wonder of the next steps in geometry.
MONTH 4: The Wonder of Economics
In this unit, you will guide your child to understand the history of economics, beginning with the indigenous people, bartering, and trading, and following its unfolding into today’s economic system. Learning takes place through practical activities such as business ideas and start-ups, basic banking, and money management.
MONTH 5: TheWonder of European Geography
The history of Rome and the Middle Ages (Grade 6 units) lends perfectly to the study of the continent of Europe. Learning about various cultures and languages within such proximity brings a new wonder and appreciation for Europe.

You and your child will explore the reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire. This block also encompasses the spread of Christianity.
MONTH 7: The Wonder of Astronomy
As your child wakes up more fully to their surroundings, not only do they study the ground they are standing on (Geology block), but they also look up to investigate the stars above. Through observation, sketching and highlights of great astronomers, the wonder of the sky opens.
MONTH 8: The Wonder of Continental Geography
This unit focuses on the continent upon which you are living. With ever-widening steps, you have now expanded to look broadly at an entire continent from your local region to country. Mapmaking, stories, themes of exploration and indigenous values make up this investigation.

The Wonder of Physics
This unit offers your child their first laboratory science. They will have the opportunity to experiment with the wonder of acoustics, optics, and heat.
