6th Grade

Ivette Figueroa Assistant Principal, 6th grade Administrator Deerfield Beach Middle School

Deerfield Beach Middle School is a very important part of our community life, and as such deserves a certain amount of attention in highlighting some of the wonderful things that are taking place at DBMS.

Our sixth graders have adjusted easily to their new surroundings and their schedules, and are a friendly presence in our school. They take pride in what they do and are genuinely motivated to academically excel.

Research tells us that we remember best the real things that we do and see. Therefore, in building knowledge there is nothing like seeing it, touching it, doing it, hearing it and or smelling it.

Here are some of our "hands-on" curriculum areas and related events that our sixth grade busy bees are/or will be working on:

The Deerfield Beach Middle School magnet program group is planning our annual trip to Williamsburg and Washington D.C. The students are fundraising and the money they earn goes into their personal account. There is a math activity that goes along with this.

In Social Studies, the students are mummifying Chickens (Egypt unit).

In Science, students are researching for their forthcoming Science Fair topic.

In Language Arts, students will be working on the Mythology unit. This will involve creative activities such as, creating a costume of a Greek God/Goddess and making a family tree for Zeuss.

The ESOL team is reading a story that includes a recipe for "Turkish Delight". This group will be exploring their culinary talents in the home economic room to get a taste of this special dish.

The ESE department is putting together a “Saturday craft fair” to raise money for the students trip to Orlando.

And finally, students have an option to join our special clubs, extra curriculum activities and sports offered by DBMS.

We strive for academic excellence; this is our commitment to the young people in our school. We are looking forward to an exciting and successful 2008-2009 school year!
