Since I've been in English Ed. I've always said I wanted to be a middle school or junior high teacher. I was disappointed with some of the classes that we took that geared most of the assignments towards teaching high school students. Even though most people say that middle schoolers are crazy and hormonal, they are still a lot of fun and many are still open to learning and being in school. Sometimes it's hard not to laugh and things they say and do, which could be a downfall!
Middle schoolers are different from elementary kids, but different from high schoolers as well... They're still developing the way they think and feel about topics... The discussions on grammar and reading were very helpful in really THINKING about how to teach this age. It was also good to have a classroom management plan project... Things we've never really had to look at before this six weeks!
