Grade 6 German Program

Students in grade 6 participate in a rotation of German, French, Latin and Spanish. They take one marking period in each language. The emphasis of the grade six language program is oral/aural comprehension, and culture. Our goal is to introduce the students to the languages in order to allow them to make an educated decision for language study for the remainder of their middle school experience. There is no nightly homework in sixth grade German, and the students are graded with an S+, S, S-. This grade is determined by class participation.

In German, the students learn conversational phrases, cognates , the alphabet, the numbers from 0-100, the colors, animals, and the names, capitals and flags of the 5 European German-speaking countries.

We also learn simple songs and poems, and some customs and vocabulary from various holidays.
