The first quarter of 6th Grade students take Transitions. This course is
designed to make students familiar with Middle School North, their
teachers, schedules, lockers, and of course their peers.
In the first two weeks, students will get to know one another and other
people in the building. Special visitors will come into our class, such as
the principals, counselors, and librarians. We will be able to ask them
questions and learn new things about the school. We will do make get to
know you games and activities.
We will talk about certain topics such as, cooperation, working in
groups, different learning styles, organization methods, bullying, and school
activities to be involved in. Throughout the quarter students will have
their assignment notebooks and binders checked for organization and proper
use.
Students will be graded on in-class tasks, group work, quizzes and
tests, assignment notebook/binder checks and more!
Below is our class schedule. Students (and parents) can check what we
did or will do in class and if any assignments are due.
