Hello all! Welcome to my sixth grade class page. My name is Ms. Hughes and I am proud to be your child's teacher this year. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education, as well as a minor in Deaf Studies and a concentration in History. I earned a Masters' Degree in Special Education 1-6. Teaching is something I have always wanted to do and I look forward to helping your children reach any personal and educational goals they may have this school year. I strive to provide a positive classroom enviornment, academic support and challenges, and a social atmosphere that encourages maturity and responsibility.

Sixth grade health curriculum focuses primarily on human development. These lessons explain aspects of  anatomy and physiology, but mostly seek to explain the physical, mental, and emotional growth of the human body. Sixth grade is a year of change for the students and the health curriculum ties in nicely with that, Social-emotional learning is incorporated into all that we learn and do in the classroom. Topics will also cover emotional well-being, coping mechanisms, dealing with stress, deescalation strategies, and bullying.
