Sixth Grade Library Lesson Plans Sixth graders meet twice a week in 40 minute blocks. Again, the sixth grade curriculum is an extension of work done in fifth grade. Students do an actual research project using information gained over the previous years. Sixth graders also study a genre unit on mysteries.
