Mid-Quarter Reports
How can you help your German student?


             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 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.

For the final 3 weeks of Transitions, we will begin a shift toward the world languages. This year we are adding a portion of the course called - Cultural World Languages. The students will have this as an option for 7th grade. Cultural World Languages will be a course designed to learn about the cultural side of the French, German, & Spanish speaking countries.

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.
