MIDDLE SCHOOL
Middle School 6th - 8th grade
​
We have chosen to group them together because there is a gross amount of learning that can be gleaned from these ages working together in a cooperative setting for all peers. In the Language portion, this group will work on a language arts unit that develops through 2 cycles and partners with a project that is fit for a portfolio, as well as grammar concepts and spelling. In the World Mathematics portion, students will work on life projects using math concepts such as developing a budget, creating a mock business, planning a trip across the country, and more. Each cycle I will provide a write-up of what standards were addressed for record-keeping purposes. Students should be prepared to spend time at home daily on their projects.
