During my eighth grade year in middle school I had one of the magnificent teachers ever, Mr. Gendron. He's was my Avid and a math teacher. He would also teach everyone what was right and wrong. Teaching everyone what they can do to succeed, asking if they needed someone to talk to, he was as a counselor to me. Whenever he would see someone changing their way to be he would know something was going on, it was as he had superpowers. He believed that we could work hard enough to succeed. He had hope on us whatsoever. Failing wasn't an option for us, he would try his best to make us understand the lesson. Making us learn each problem step-by-step. Many significant memories in my eighth grade year, but the special ones are with Mr.
The National Middle School Association (NMSA) is now known as the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE). It has been a “voice for those committed to the educational and developmental needs of young adolescents” since 1973. This organization is the only national education association specifically committed to those in the middle level grades. There are over 30,000 members including principals, teachers, central office personnel, professors, college students, parents, community leaders, and educational consultants. The AMLE is recognized across the United States, Canada, and 46 other countries. In addition, AMLE has a network of “58 affiliate organizations in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia that strengthen outreach to the regional, state, provincial, and local levels.” The Association for Middle Level Education’s mission is dedicated to improving the educational experiences of all students ages 10 to 15 by providing vision, knowledge, and resources to educators and leaders. (National Association of State Boards of Education, n.d., paragraph 1).
Starting middle school was a mixture of anxiety and excitement. There was a brand new campus to explore, but we were also nervously anticipating the academic program that was about to begin. Most of my grade had been together since the age of four and by this time there were clear social divides. There were the girls who were seen as popular, and then there was everybody else. You could say that I was part of the popular crowd, though at the time I didn’t notice myself standing apart from the others. As a group of friends we got on well, we’d hang out, go to the cinema, have sleepovers, all the usual things friends do. Then things gradually started to change.
Middle school was a lot of fun for me, I met a lot of new people and lots of new girls. It was also kinda tough in the beginning with switching classes and things and having so many different teachers and lots of homework from different classes and having to remember the room numbers of each class but eventually I got used to everything.
I walked into my Barents room , I was so depressed because that day was my first day went to middle school in America. I spoke to my mother about what was going on that day.
Math hasn't been that difficult for me, I don't struggle on everything, I'm honestly pretty good I listen closoly and explain it good then I will learn it pretty good. In the begining of the year in middle school I didn't undersand anything, but when I promoted I ended with a A+. In the passed I stuggled because I didn't have anyone to help me out little by little I got the hang of it. In the past when I struggled I didn't give up I kept doing it until I got the hang of it, the reason I don't give up is why give up? If i give up I won't get anywhere. I would struggle so much, but I didn't give up because I motivated myself to do better. I am starting to approch math differently because khan is so muvh new I am used to writing down noted and
Looking back and reminisce from my own education experience, where I started, and how far I have come. I own it all to those teachers who went far and beyond the call of duty. There has been a couple of teachers that made an impact on my life. One in particular Professor Grubbs. He was a math teacher. You see I had math anxiety, struggle with math. Hated it, didn’t like it, negative attitude towards it, when it can down to it, had a close mind. Just could not get the concept at all. I fell behind, never raised my hand in class, thought I could catch up, but failed big time. So many learning strategies out there to use, but I didn’t even want to try them. Not until I meet Professor Grubbs. He gave me a new insight on math. How math could be beneficial, turning
As the year is coming to an end, I have the chance to look back on the entire year and reflect. From middle school, to high school, a lot has changed. High school has made me realize my strengths and weaknesses in different subjects. These strengths and weaknesses have made me learn things about myself that I didn’t know. My 9th grade experience has taught me a lot of things that I will never forget.
The local middle school I visited, observed and interviewed three individuals. The Food and Consumer Science teacher teaches student about food and nutrition during class. The class involves cooking. The students actively participate in cooking and learning about proper meal planning that involves health choices. The day before I came they made baked oatmeal squares and the day I observed one class made fresh food smoothies and the second class made homemade applesauce with apples that they had grown on the school property. The teacher assigns students to look up healthy recipes for homework and if unhealthy options are in the recipe the students and the teacher find ways to make substitutions to make the recipes a healthier option. The
I have had many wonderful teachers in my life. When I refer to teachers I mean, both people I have encountered in my life who have taught me valuable spiritual and life lessons, and actual schoolteachers.
Oh, the joys of middle school. Schoolyard crushes, cliques and constant drama running rampant through the halls as pre-teens adjust to being back on the bottom of the social ladder. And what better piece of literature to explain the ups and downs of pre-adolescent education than Romeo and Juliet?
I have attended Mid-Buchanan my whole life, other than pre-school which I attended my mom school that she teaches at in the St. Joseph School District. I have been at Mid-Buchanan for elementary school, middle school, and high school. Some of my favorite elementary teachers were Mrs. Steiner, Mrs. Goeller, Mrs. McNorthern, and Mr. House. These teachers made a great impact on my life to start out my education career. In middle school, my favorite teachers consisted of Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Foster, and Coach Kountz. I only got to spend two years with these teachers. However, during this time period they helped me prepare for high school and I still see them around the school quite a bit. I am almost done with high
In 8th grade I learned that I should ask the teacher a question when I have one. I never asked my math teacher how to do my assignments and that caused me to fail for a while because I wasn’t turning in the assignments.
Reading is one of the most important developmental milestones in our lives. Reading is described as the ability to recognize letters and the sounds two or more letters generate. Reading is not only knowing those sounds, but also understanding what each of those sounds represent. Middle childhood is a critical period for reading because if a child those not learn how to read in this part of their life they are vulnerable to reading difficulties in adolescence. During middle childhood, there are a couple of cognitive developments that must occur in order for reading to be beneficial. Three of the most important are the following selective attention, memory, reaction time.
The best teacher i have ever met! Mr. Draydon, he had such a fun way of learning and was kind of like one of us kids. For encouragement he made the entire third grade class believe that this little stuffed dragon he had in our classroom was magical, but he was only magical at night when grown ups were not around. Now, the only way we were allowed to take the magical dragon home was to read a book to our class out loud. I hated reading and most of all I hated talking in front of people, so i was never going to get to take the magical dragon home. One day another student brought the dragon back to class and was telling all these amazing stories about her and the dragon, I was jealous. Before class was over I had the determination to read outloud! I was going to take that dragon home, I stand up, grabbed a book and began to read and with the thought of able to take the dragon home, I survived reading out loud.
Middle school, that awkward time when you're too young to be high schoolers, yet too old to be elementary schoolers. We all experience it, most don't take much from it, but I was an exception. At Archdale Trinity Middle School there was a teacher by the name of Mr. Gary Hunsucker. I will never forget that name, for he impacted me for life. All of the students wanted Mr. Hunsuker, probably because his class was fairly easy to pass. What the students didn't know was the lessons he taught. Not only lesson plans, but life lessons. I remember seeing Mr. Hunsucker in the halls. I can remember his radiant smile, and his humble complexion. I always wanted the experience of having Mr. Hunsucker for a teacher, so I made sure of it. I applied for Algebra I because I knew Mr. Hunsucker taught that class. Not to my surprize, I got in his class. I can remember how excited I was to see him in class teaching! August could not come soon enough.
