Middle school

After being in Middle School for a whole year, I started brain storming ideas for my next project for 7th grade. I thought about a Hammoking area, a free period, but I kept thinking about agendas and student ID’s. I knew that agendas were an issue for GMS. Students have to carry them everywhere. For example, when you use the bathroom you must get it signed and take it with you. School bathrooms are disgusting, the smell, the germs, everything. We students have to set our agendas either on the…

It is hard to distinquish what is true from what is not. Throughout middle school and high school different teachers say different things. Throughtout my writing I have always received mixed signals. Certain things such as always having transitions and five sentences per paragraph I assumed to be true. In high school my english teacher would drop our grade down two letter grades if transitions were not included in our essay. This experience was one that stuck with me. Personally, I believe…

When I first stepped onto this campus, i didn’t know what to do. AT ALL. After all, going from elementary to middle school is a big change. And for a little scared 11 year old, things can get scary. Anyhow, I had one of the funnest times in my life, but for you classmates who were with me, we had the best inside jokes, like the whatchamacallit, from Cooley’s class. Man, those were some pretty fun days. I remember doing our own little “Olympics” in 6th grade, and our team winning. The…

college, I was sent on becoming an elementary school teacher, yet somewhere along the way, I found my true passion—middle school science. So, what changed? What led me to want to pursue being a middle school and science teacher, above all? Simple. The types of experiences I have encountered in college made me realize that there is not just one model of science classes, but that they can indeed be very interactive and engaging. While in high school, I took Physical Science, Earth and…

Additionally, this year was made special since I finally choose to stay after school and join a program that has changed my life forever and given me various opportunities. Indeed, I decided to join the chess club, also known as the only club that was big in that school year. Anyhow, to begin to understand just how enormous the change the chess club provided it is important to understand that prior to the club Esperanza Middle School had earned no trophies. Even more, the chess club was the…

My observation of Ms. de la Fuente’s 5th grade class this week started after lunch during their math time. On Wednesday, their schedule had been different from normal and there was two other teachers in the classroom teaching them about different types of rocks. On Thursday, a sixth grade math teacher came to the classroom to further explain what they had been learning about conversions, and to tell them about what they would learn next year when they went to sixth grade.. During arrival in the…

when to eat. When students reach middle school age, they should be given the power to choose their teachers and classes. This should be done by allowing the students to interview the teacher. The students would be required to choose a couple of teachers in order to avoid one teacher having the majority. This will give students a small amount of power, but it will be meaningful. If students were given the power to choose their own teachers and classes then school would be more effective. By…

“Middle School is frightening, I can’t believe I have to do three years in this place”, 6th grader me said that back in 2012. “I think I’m getting the idea of everything, even being at a new school”, 7th grade Tyler stated that in 2014. “ Last year until we get to the real deal… High School”, 8th grade me is still saying that to this day. Middle School has been a crazy ride and I’m going to share that now. Let's get started, shall we. Starting 6th grade, I was tiny, I mean, I got made fun of by…
