Art, music, health and hands-on fun
Specials are the classes that round out the week: art, music, physical education, health and STEAM. In 6th grade, students move from just trying things to explaining their choices. They read about fitness and nutrition, design and test simple STEAM experiments, write and analyze songs, and create art with a purpose. The aha moment is seeing that a STEAM test like measuring how much water a diaper absorbs uses the same thinking as science class.
Sixth graders want real reasons behind the fun. These moves add thinking to the doing.
Run the diaper absorption STEAM activity: kids predict, measure water, test and graph results. Ask them to explain why the material soaks up so much. A messy, surprising test hooks even the coolest 6th grader.
Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.
Try it withHow Much Will It Absorb Diaper STEAM ActivityActivitiesOpen it →Use the health and fitness reading workbook for a short reading at the start of PE or health. Kids pull out one habit they want to try that week and track it. Reading plus action makes health lessons personal.
Why it works: handing over the work step by step, from teacher to student, is one of the most widely used teaching frameworks (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).
Try it withHealth and Fitness Reading Comprehension WorkbookAssessmentsOpen it →Play Song About A Song and have students label the verse, chorus and bridge as they listen. Then partners write their own four-line chorus. Breaking down a song teaches structure in a way kids enjoy.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Specials are classes outside the core subjects, usually art, music, physical education, library, health and STEAM. Students often rotate through them during the week.
Sixth graders learn about nutrition, exercise, sleep, hygiene and making healthy choices. Short readings paired with a personal goal help the lessons carry over to home.
Absorption tests, bridge building and paper rockets are big hits. The best ones ask students to predict, test, measure and explain their results.
Music builds pattern and rhythm sense, art builds observation, and STEAM uses math and science in action. Connecting a special to a classroom unit helps kids see the big picture.
