Middle school

Quite a while ago, I was taking 8th grade at Correia Middle School. It was a few months into the 2nd semester, and I already lost my phone because I had a “D” in one of my classes, and only my computer was available to use for entertainment and resources (my sister and I had computers that we could use for recreation and homework, but my sister’s was taken away at the time), so my sister and I had to share it. My dad put a password on the computer that we had so we don’t use it for non-productive

In 8th grade, we are the big dogs in middle school. When you are a 7th grader, you are scared to death walking through those doors because you have no idea what to expect. It seems like an easy ride in 8th grade but we have to get ready to be Freshman and that makes you start all over. You go from the ruler of middle school to a little pest in high school. This 2015-2016 year has been a blast. Sure, sometimes I don’t want to wake up and go to class once in awhile but you get to see the people you

As the school year is drawing near, I want to express how much I appreciate the kind things you have done to support me over the past two years. As a newcomer to middle school, I’ve needed your guidance. The schedule you work is unbelievable, and yet you maneuver your time to help me work out dilemmas I need to resolve. There are other teachers on our faculty who would agree with the important part you play in helping us work through out daily lives. When delicate situations have occurred with

rushed into the given direction. He arrived and went inside sighing in relief as he sat down at a random desk. The bell rang just seconds later as the teacher gathered the class's attention. He was an old dude probably in his fifties. "Welcome to middle school. I hope you students will be accustomed to your new school's rules here. It's not as easy

problems that the teachers give me. I might also not understand math because of the way that the teachers teach it. I struggle in middle school because I didn't really learn a lot of math. Our teacher didn't really teach us anything the whole 8 grade year. In 7 grade, our math teacher left the school and we didn't really have a math teacher after that. He left right befor the middle of the year. In the past I gave up when problems were too hard because I did not even know how to start the problem. Almost

Middle School. A truly awkward period of your life between elementary school and high school. Between being a messy little kid and a stressed out high schooler who is constantly on the verge of a mental breakdown. Now before I start complaining and going on and on about how crappy middle school was, i must say that it really wasn't all that bad. Don't get me wrong though. I would NOT want to relive those 3 years of my life! I mean just the other day I was telling some of my friends that i would

from Middle School to High School “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” Said John Dewey, a very successful philosopher in the 1920’s. To get through life you need education; to get into college, to get a good job. The most important rules to a successful education are: focusing on what is important, not getting involved in drama, and knowing that you aren’t entitled to anything in life. If you stick to this, you’ll fly through high school, just as you did middle school

Who would’ve thought that out of all the times life could possibly make you question your morals and beliefs, that one of those times it would be your own teacher being the one making you question them? Throughout my entire middle school experience, my music teacher, Mr. McKinney, and I never really had any issues or problems with each other, up until my last year at UNO in the eighth grade. It was then that I realised that it isn’t always necessary to abide to authority, in fact it is sometimes

The classroom communication in the middle school classroom is a rich environment that has been cultivated by the teacher. This is obvious because the teacher has chosen to use Lit Circles with a book of choice. Book choice in middle school is important because it creates a level of interest that cannot be recreated if the book is just given to read. Because these students chose the book, they are more inclined to participate in reading, responding, and their learning. The teacher has used the roles

At the end of middle school, I had this idea that there were lockers in the hallway and you would get 15 min in passing to go to your classes. My sisters told me this was wasn’t true , but I believed it because I had seen it on TV. My sister used to talk about the bridge at school; in my head I imagined it to be small wooden bridges dividing the school into 3rd for each program (M, H, and LASI). My sister also told me about a pool on the 5th floor. Upon arriving I quickly realized the bridge dilemma
