Meghan+W. 

Math We worked on many things in math. The best definitely had to be math connections. What other teacher would have thought to let their students make a book about things they learned instead of taking a test. I liked how we worked at our own pace. We didn't waste time she told us to work and see how far we got. We got a lot more freedom. We learned all about circles and angles. One of the most difficult things we learned this year was the area of irregular shapes. It doesn't sound hard to most people but I had trouble with it.

Social Studies I really liked all the things we did in social studies. I really liked mesopatamia just because it was the first one we did this year. I loved learning about all the civilalzations. I learned more in one year than i did at 6 years in the elementary school. I loved all the projects too. We learned about so many ancient civilizations. We learned about China. I was not pleased to learn about their toilet systems, that was just kind of disgusting. It was very fun to research about the erhu. We just learned about Groovy Greeks. They were groovy (or not so groovy) because the men shopped for all the women's clothes. Mesopotamia was the first civilization we learned about and believed to be the first civilization. Another one was Maya. I learned that their marriages were arranged and they had many cultural dances. In egypt we learned that people spent their whole life saving for mummification. Right now we are learning about the Remarkable (or rotten) romans. I really loved all the projects and celebrations. We had fun while learning. Science I am just not a big fan of science. As in all the other subjects I learned a lot too. We learned about water and ecosystems. Birds of prey was interesting too. Forces and motion was interesting too. I thought the flip book was a really creative and independent way to learn about the matter. I really liked how they found reliable sources for us to use. It was very nice not to waste time searching for sites. Oceanography was very interesting. It was really fun to learn about the ocean ecosystem. I really liked the organizer we used for oceanography. I like all the freedom they give us with finding information.

English Just like science not a big fan. I love to write i just don't like learning all the proper english behind the words I am writing. We learned a lot about how to present properly and grammar also. We learned so much about parts of speech. We learned how to write proper paragraph. We also learned so much about sentences. We learned subject and predicate, and many other things about sentences. Reading I actually liked the reading groups we did this year. Again more freedom it was nice. The first one we did I didn't like so much because I dont like gary paulsen.I liked the one about greece though. Some books I liked this year was double identity, kissed by an angel, Incatation, Silent Boy, The girls, Deep and Dark and Dangerous, I'd tell you I love you but then I'd have to kill you, Days of tears, Year of Secret assignments. Those were some of my favorite books this year. Vocab All I can say is I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually have a better extensive vocabulary. I can understand most the words in christmas carol. I am just happy I can out smart my mom in vocab. I have improved so much in vocabulary all year. I know have a very large amount of words I know. Projects I loved all the projects. It is what I really love to do. I love just making and creating something of my own. I love putting my ideas into something creative and original. D.A.R.E. To be honest I didn't really like it. All we did was sit there and listen to an officer talk about things that are boring. I am glad they made us do it though because now I know about drugs and alchol. Guidance We didn't really have much guidence this year. I don' really have anything to say about it. Mrs. Papesh is nice though. From what we did have she taught us to walk in someone else's shoes before you judge them. Specials I actually liked all the specials. It was a break from regular class. Who doesn't love that.

School in general I liked the middle school SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than elementary school. The teachers are a lot better too. Mrs. Fuini-Hetten and Mrs. Yurconic are the best teachers I have ever had in my whole life and that is the 100% truth. I love doing all the projects for just about everything. I have to say social studies was my favorite. I just kind of love history.
