Middle school

Middle school was a very unusual time in my life. Not unusual in the sense that I had strange things happen to me, more in the sense that everything just seemed hard to latch on too. For example, I went to elementary school at Haubstadt Community school, but I didn't go on to attend the middle school at Haubstadt like most of my peers did. Instead, I went to Scott Middle School, which is located in McCutchanville. I knew nobody and I felt out of place. On my first day at Scott Middle school, I…

The middle school is full of amazing experiences which prepares you for your next step in life. There may be some depressing moments , but for the most part middle school shapes you into the person you are now. Going into middle school I felt completly petrified and nervous. I remember walking through the halls with my head down hiding from everyone . Now I'm leaving with my head held up high , and enthusiastic. The Middle school has helped me improve both academically and socially. We also…

When coming into middle school a lot of people are really scared what’s gonna happen. Middle school is scary at first when you come as 6th grader but, usually you have to get used to people and also participating in other things in your school. But usually you have to explore middle school a little bit and even trying new things for yourself and being happy. But if you're gonna be sad when you enter middle school things are gonna be hard for you when you come to middle school. When…

My Journey Through 6th Grade Before I started middle school I was scared. First of all, I had heard that you get a ton of homework. Second of all, I had never been through a transition before in schools and in classes. Third of all, I had never seen a fight before. Overall, I did not want to come to middle school. One of the changes I have had this year is I have learned how to manage my time better. First of all, I know how to plan out my day to get my work all done. For example, when we…

When I entered middle school I changed by a lot of ways. The most three ways that I have changed is I became more responsible, I acted more my age, and I found some new friends. These are the ways I have changed. One of the things that changed would be that I am a lot more responsible than I was last year. I have became a lot more responsible because in middle school the teachers are a whole lot stricter so if I do not act responsible and keep up with my work I would get detention. Plus I…

Middle school is the place where you have either the best or even the worst memories. Some could consist of you getting injured in kickball, you kicking the game-winning home run. I in fact have a lot of memories, one in which that I almost spilled Gatorade all my teacher. Some aren't as interesting, but they're still very funny. People look back at memories and laugh, but I laugh as it happens. My memories are almost spilling Gatorade on my teacher, playing kickball, and field day. First I…

scheme of things. Caring too much about grades is probably one of the biggest things I struggle with under the “perfectionism umbrella.” I'm not even 100 percent sure why I do that to myself. I first started noticing the problem as early as middle school. My parents would always applaud me on my straight A’s on every report card. And what little kid doesn't enjoy having their parents proud of them? As the years went on, and grades became more “important,” I started caring more and more. I…

questions. You can either type in your responses or hand-write them. 1. What do you remember about your middle school experiences? I remember noticing differences between my peers and myself. I felt like I finally had responsibility over my choices and my friends all handled that responsibility differently. Peer groups started to change and choices started to play a bigger part in my future. As far as school, I felt like the classes started to segregate into academic level and even friend…

On March 15, 2017 middle schools from across the state came to Cedar Ridge High School to perform and be judged. This was the large ensemble day, so our exposure to drastically different ensembles was limited. In the amount of time that I was in the audience, there were a total of three bands who performed. In this review, I will dissect one piece per band. The first band to perform was the Daniel’s Magnet Middle School 7th Grade Band. The piece that I will critique is named “Imperium” composed…

learning at the middle school level.

Knowing not only these factors but also how they impact students is crucial for effective learning to take place at the middle school level.
