I've no idea how old 6th grade is (didn't go to US highschool), but wouldn't the OLPC, http://laptop.org , be ideal for a kid to learn programming? They looks at the code of all the applications running on the OLPC and change them on the fly.

In the US, children usually enter 1st grade at age 6. She should be about 11 or 12.
