To find the ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students, we need to add the number of 3rd graders and 6th graders together.

The total number of students is 6 + 10 = <<6+10=16>>16.

So the ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students is 6/16.

Simplifying this fraction gives us the final answer of 3/8.
