Middle school mode! I can’t believe we’re in it already.
The biggest difference is probably more homework. We went from one sheet of homework to about half an hour to an hour of homework. We’re taking spelling, social studies and practice math tests home for homework. Sometimes even some science or grammar.
Last week we started working on current events. Luke and Tamia did a fantastic job. Current events are about events all over the world. This week Owen and Kenzy are doing it. We are very excited to hear what they chose.
Around this time we are learning about countries in Asia. Last week we learned about Israel. This week we are learning about Saudi Arabia. I have a lot of fun learning about countries around the world. Do you enjoy learning about countries around the world?
Recently we started taking our buddies to church and we’re gonna start serving soon at mass soon. Have you ever served at mass before?
A big thing in our class is accountability things that hold us accountable are
Getting our planners signed and making sure our homework gets stamped.
Participation points are another key thing in our classroom. Basically participation points are five points a day. When you do something wrong you usually get a point taken off an example talking too much, our class needs to work on that especially me.
This year we have started to have a study hall at the end of Tuesdays and Thursdays just because we are very busy on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We can work on homework or classwork that we missed throughout the day. We also might have study hall on other days too.
I have mixed feelings about Middle School Mode, but I think I will be fine by the end of the year and ready to go to Middle School.
