The seventh grade....what can I say? It has been a roller coaster, one full of notes, homework, deadlines, big assignments, deadlines, huge projects, speeches, presentations, and learning. I suppose that, looking back on it, I can honestly say that most of the year depended on how well I was able to read, write and adapt new skills. Every thing, in every class I have, in its own right, ties back to the classes that teach me the fundamentals of reading, writing, and speaking. Granted, most of these
Oh seventh grade, what a year to remember. That was actually my favorite year of middle school. At home during this time was a mess and my grades also plummeted but I think going to school took some stress off because I was taking some time to "myself" and forgetting for a while about my home situation. Seventh grade, I would say was a year of friends for me. I had and still to this day have a friend from kindergarten that I considered a best friend. Until a new girl came along, lets call her Patricia
My life from fourth to seventh grade so far has been great! I started going to public school, playing sports, and making lots of new friends. It all started at the beginning of fourth grade… The night before my first day of school in fourth grade was literally my first night before school. I had been homeschooled my entire life and was excited to be able to finally see what school was like. My teacher was Mrs. Holmes, she was one of the nicest teachers I have ever had. This was also the year that
people. In seventh grade I was an irresponsible student and I didn’t study at all; I had to study a lot to survive seventh and eighth grade, and I had to become a model student for my younger sibling and cousins. At the beginning of my seventh grade school year, I had a problem controlling my temper and I really didn’t care about my grades; all I did was play video games or watch television. Fortunately, I have changed to a better and brighter student whom people can look up to. As a seventh grader
can react. You can either give up or you can overcome and persevere the obstacles that are in your way. By the end of seventh grade, I was in a situation exactly like this. During seventh grade, my motivation and drive to do anything in school was at an all time low. I felt as if school was useless and that I could use my time for something else and because of that, I failed the grade. At that point, I had two options. I could either give up and not care at all or I could get my stuff together and prove
Not too long ago in middle school, did I experience a roller coaster of emotions in seventh grade. This was the year my math teacher gave me the motivation and confidence to work hard in school. Ms. Makus made seventh grade the most memorable experience I’ve had in school. I met such loyal and loving people-that I’m still friends with today. One amazing friend I met was my neighbor Bart. 2013 was the year where shooting rubberbands was a trend. In class, Bart would playfully slingshot rubber bands
part, Jennifer enjoyed teaching in the town that she lived. She had no children of her own, but enjoyed teaching her seventh grade students with a new class arriving every year. She enjoyed living in the community and being able to watch as her students grew up and found their path in life. Jennifer’s school, Suburban Middle School, was home to over 1,000 sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students. It was ethnically diverse and about fifty percent of the student population came from economically disadvantaged
I’ve grown up in a household of primary care physicians. I often overheard stories of helping patients and changing their lives; I didn’t understand too much how a physician could change a life, until I had that experience. As a child, I was very self conscious about my teeth. I refused to smile because my teeth were “ugly”. My dentist informed me that my cuspids were growing in sideways, and I needed a corrective operation or I would lose all top teeth. I was terrified, but my oral surgeon assured

going from kindergarten to eighth grade. I have accomplished many things, but there are also countless things I have done wrong or wish I could change. I hope people at Emmons will remember me for the good, not the bad. I have done things not only academically at Emmons, but also as an athlete, In seventh and eighth grade the boys basketball team that I played for at Emmons took second in our conference. Considering the size of my school, only about 20 boys in my grade, this was a big accomplishment
They are from all different classes and the only thing they have in common is their love for video games, and their age. Their parents have agreed to let me do a case study on their children Gabe, Everon, Jerry, Phillip, and Keanu who are all in 6th grade and 11 years old. This case study will be over the course of their middle school years as a child. They all love videos games as much as the next boy in middle school does. War games, zombies, wrestling games, Grand Theft Auto and so much more are
of being free from danger or threat. These terms are essential to know while trying to improve our schools. What is Project Citizen? For many years, Edgewood and other schools around the country have given their seventh graders a project to help improve their community or school.

Readability Formula showed that Weather is written at a seventh grade level and Astronomy is written at an eighth grade level. Based on those scores, if Weather were to be used in a seventh grade class, most students should be able to read the text with ease, since the text is at their assumed reading level (see Appendix A). However, on the other hand, if I were to use the Astronomy textbook with my sixth grade class, since it is written at an eighth grade level, I would need to provide additional supports
a speech impediment that I got for Christmas one wear. She would say basic words (like “water”) incorrectly and I would correct her until she said the word properly. This doll was my first encounter with my dream career. The summer after my sixth grade year, my mother decided to work as secretary for Special Ed Summer School. Although my little sister Madelyn and I refused to believe it, my mother thought we were too young to stay at home by our selves while she was at work. The next day she hauled
Imani Brooks a is girl I’ll never forget. It all happened back in 2009. I was in the sixth grade. It was my first day at a new school with new people. Imani was queen bee at the middle school, because she was a fighter, and she was bigger. I believe everyone was just scared of her including me. She ruled the school and everyone praised her. I was the new girl, and this is how I got through middle school being bullied, and how i have changed since middle school; my bully didn 't define me, she made
Against the Flow The stereotypical American teenage girl follows the entertainment industry as if it were her livelihood. She listens to pop, rap, and R&B. She goes shopping almost every weekend for the next midriff-baring fashion. Television is scheduled into her day as if the VCR had never been invented. She is on top of the trends, ready with plastic in hand for anything the market will push her way. I am not your typical teenage girl. I like to see movies, but often put everything else
know their deepest and innermost thoughts at all times. Knowing someone to the fullest extent is quite comparable to understanding their thoughts and emotions which they may not necessarily choose to voluntarily share with others. The short story Seventh Grade portrayed the struggle of thinking that you truly do know someone to the greatest level. This short story depicted the experiences of Victor, a young adolescent
For this field assignment, I chose to observe a seventh grade self-contained math class at William A Morris I.S 61 on Staten Island. I am currently a substitute teacher at the school and has worked at this school for approximately two years. For the purpose of this observations, I worked with Mr. Karl Knutsen, a 6th and 7th grade math, special education and technology supervisor at the school. Mr. Knutsen has been a teacher for seven years and has worked in I.S 61 for five. He currently teaches all
If you knew me in the sixth grade you would have loved me. I was extremely popular but not for sports or anything cool i was just extremely bad. Everyone found my behavior funny. I wanted to keep everyone laughing and keep building my reputation because wanted to be known by everyone. I hated the things that did but i never forgot to love myself. Well, to start off anything i wasn't good with being in class quietly i was always making people laugh and disrupting the class. I truly hated sitting
Middle School Changed Me Middle school was a amazing experience, for me anyway. I, myself have changed tremendously from the beginning of 6th grade to the end of 8th grade. Not just in appearance either, on the inside as well. Entering middle school, I was scared because I looked differently compared to the other kids around me. I feared that I might get bullied by upperclassmen or even my peers. Though it did help that my elementary was literally 5 steps from Luna Middle School, the middle school
