Middle School Blog Post 1
My name is Ayla Z. and I’m a new middle schooler at The A.L.L School. Being in a new stage of education was stressful at first, but it’s never as bad or hard as you think it is! 7th grade is also pretty fun so far. I also have many classmates and we all support each other.
My name is Madison L. and I am a 7th grader joining The A.L.L School for middle school. This is a brand new experience for me. As the first middle schoolers it's a bit stressful to make sure we make a good impression on everyone and for the school. It's nice to have everyone looking out for each other. Overall the school year so far has been very exciting.
Because we are new middle schoolers, we have started to focus more on our futures. We will start to do more career exploration and as older peers, we need to set a good example. We still participate in school projects, but we also have a blended learning environment. We follow the Montessori work methods, and we practice grace and courtesy daily. Between class projects and virtual electives, we still try to participate in classroom activities.
We have learned many skills to help us succeed, academically and personally. We know how to get work done on time and how to respect deadlines. We have learned how to communicate with people of any age, as peers and as friends. We have learned how to be organized and work efficiently, independently and with others.
We are extremely happy that we have had the opportunity to be our best selves. The experience we have gained in this community doesn’t just teach us the essentials and basics. We learn things that can help us outside of school everyday. We learn how to be a kinder and better person, and how to make our best effort under any circumstances. Because of this opportunity, we make sure to try our best every day. We can become better at whatever we put our mind to. Anything we would like to pursue, we will be able to learn about and do because of this school.
ALLways,
Ayla and Madison
