Sixth Avenue

and the main skeleton of the whole structure. All of the basics are learned in elementary school: learning how to read, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, fractions, the founding of America,, etcetera, but by the time students reach sixth grade, new knowledge builds onto what is already known. Letters are added into the familiar math equations; stories are written with all of the reading and grammar knowledge; unfamiliar people, wars, and awakenings add onto the history of America.…

The Sixth Sense, a film by M. Night Shyamalan, director and screenwriter, deserves no less than 4 stars because of its great use of characters, and the sound and lighting used throughout the movie. The Sixth Sense, a thriller and a ghost story, is portrayed as much more than just that. Perhaps it’s the chilliness and coldness in the air that make you just want to shiver. Or maybe it’s the way that they use almost direct silence to add to the scary feeling. Maybe it’s the lighting that always…

Can someone make you so happy you feel like dancing in the clouds? The song I picked is Clouds by Zach Sobiech. I chose this song, because it says he fell down in a hole, but someone was there to pick him up. This was my year. I had some ups and downs through my 8th grade year, but there were three ways that helped me go through the downs and all the way through the ups. Swimming, friends and family all helped me up through hard times in my 8th grade life. My friends helped make my life…

teachers now have, smart boards, smart projectors, IPads, IPods, smart phones, and the list goes on. With this easy accessibility to electronics in the classroom, how has that driven change in the school district’s personal device policy?

with seventh grade students to determine possible interventions that could support the current sixth grade students’ academic needs as they transition to middle school next year.

This paper provides a plan for the implementation of the guidance lessons…

Something that I noticed in sixth grade about myself, was that I liked to control everything. In the movie, Cameron is trying to control Ferris so that no one will get in trouble. This made me feel more secure, and it made me want to try to get straight A’s. When I think of my 6th…

8th Grade Graduation As we sit here today, eagerly waiting to graduate, let’s ask ourselves one simple question. Where would we all have been without teachers today? It’s not just teachers though, it’s the friends we made; the experiences and knowledge that we all gained throughout elementary and middle school too. Even though we are all graduating middle school today, I think I can speak on behalf of my classmates when saying that we all learned so much already. To my teachers, friends,…

I remember when I was in elementary school I was taught about figurative language such as similes and metaphors. A way my teacher made learning these figurative language devices was by giving us a chance to go up on the overhead projector. I was always as excited as a one year old baby who had just started walking to go up on the overhead. In fourth grade my teacher Ms. Davis always made sure that we all participated. Mostly everyone in the class enjoyed going up on the overhead projector. My…

because most of the subjects we learn at school are by our language. We only have one English class and we focus to learn how to read and write in English when we are in middle school. My English reading story begins when I was in 6th grade. It was in sixth grade when I had an interest in learning English. My English teacher was my favorite of all my teachers because he was the one who gave me a way to learn how to read. His name was Tasfay but all the students call him teacher Tesfaye. He was…
