Description of Core Classes:
2nd Period- I am taking a high school science class, Biology. Mr. Steelman teaches this class brilliantly! We do several labs and projects to help us understand the material. This is a very difficult class due to the high school level material but Mr. Steelman teaches us and makes sure we understand everything we do. Right now we are starting the unit on Enzymes and will have the enzyme material on our quarter final this friday as well as material from every other unit we've done this quarter.
4th Period- My 4h period class is U.S. History taught by Mr. Reed. In this class we learn about the history of our country. We are learning about why people settle where they do to help us in later chapters understand why people settled where they did in the past. We are making our own continent with geographic features right now! We do several projects and he uses great examples to help us understand what we're learning.
5th Period- My 5th period is a Sophomore math class, Geometry. This is the highest math class offered by the middle school. Last year we took a test to see if we could take the Freshman math class, Algebra 1. If you passed the test you would now be taking Geometry. Mrs. Lemily teaches this class like no one else! We do so much hands on work. We are taking each of the units and what we learned about to create a school! Last unit we made the doors and windows of the school by using perpendicular bisectors, etc. This unit we will use reflections and transversals to create the tiling (made from triangles) for our school. I can't wait to see the finished product at the end of the year!
6th Period- My 6th period is Language Arts. Mrs. Kupchella teaches this class! We read several stories, and watch short stories to write summaries, identify the theme, and explain what the motivation of the characters actions. This class is so much fun because you get to read about so many different people and characters. I think that reading is the roots of everything, so i'm so glad that i have a great Language Arts class to learn all about it.
