My Journal

Yesterday, I told you that we were going to visit my middle school. I'll tell you what we learned and describe how the school looks. Interesting thing that I learned was we start official school at 8:15. We have to be on campus between 7:50 and 8:10. School ends at 2:20! WE have lunch break for 35 minutes, and during lunch time, there are sometimes activities held. On a regular basis at lunch time after you finish your lunch, you can go to a club. For example, Book Club, Art Club, Math Club etc. are some choices. Besides this, we get lockers in which to put our books. Our classes will each be 50 minutes with 6 different subjects and 5 minutes to grab our books and go to the next class. The first 5 subjects you definitely know from elementary are, math, english, science, history, and P.E. The 6th subject is known as an elective where you get to choose an extra-other-than-main-subjects thing to do. I probably will be going into Communication/Speech or Drama. Another thing we have is of course library. HONORS! HONORS! HONORS! Probably the dream of every parent. Subjects you could get into honors for are math, english, and science. How to get into honors for each subject (this requires you to get good grades in your last year of elementary):
MATH: Good 5th grade STAR score and an average in the A or B range
ENGLISH: (same thing)
SCIENCE: If you have whatever is required in math and english, I guarantee you will get into science honors.
Another thing is, your parents have to decide whether or not they want you to go to all the honors' classes. (To be continued tomorrow...)
