== The PLUS portion of ELO provides an interdisciplinary approach to study, as viewed through a yearlong theme and underlying construct. Each semester, one discipline will be the central organizing discipline, with identified learning goals guiding the explorations. In 6th grade, the overarching theme is "Growth and Change." This lens shall be a thread throughout the year, woven through three disciplines. ==

Higher order thinking problems and questions are also provided during class as warm-ups and challenges, as the kids frequently request these activities.
