What Teachers are doing to make Learning Fun!

My 6th grade year has been totally awesome, so far

anyway. It’s only the second quarter, but I have

already had amazing experiences. I have made tons of

new friends (shout out to all of them!) and I have

some pretty awesome teachers! So far I am doing

well in all my classes and I have seen some pretty

unusual things. I have also had some pretty good

times. For example, the Halloween dance - now that

was a good time! Well, for me anyway. For the

people who didn’t go to the dance, you really missed

out on a good time. There was a lot of dancing,

screaming and especially eating. Overall, I think,

everyone who went had a good time. Another fun

event was the 6th grade mixer. There were lots of

people dancing and getting to know each other.

Pretty much it has been a good year and I hope all

of you are having an awesome year too!

I have enjoyed my Reading and Band class. Ms. Guerrero makes class easy and fun. She makes funny jokes and makes me feel like I can do it. Reading a book can be fun! Mr. Stuart is funny and always cracks jokes. By Alexis D. Meneses

At A. Mario Loiederman Middle School in Silver

Spring, Maryland, my favorite classes are English with

Ms. Delayo and Perspectives with Ms. Carson. I like

English because Ms. Delayo makes the class fun by

having fun activity worksheets and we have a little bit

of social time. I like Perspectives with Ms. Carson

because she makes the class easy by showing us

videos then giving us questions about the videos.

Technically, the video gives us all the answers. She

also gives us work like drawing and sometimes she

lets us work together. By Cielo Gonzalez

I have enjoyed my Health and P.E. classes. In

Health, Ms. Williams has taught us all the reasons

we need to be healthy and how we can stay healthy.

Ms. Williams is nice and will always give you a hand.

In P.E., you will find one of the best P.E. teachers

you will ever know – Mr. Hobbs.

By Jacob Hedeiniem

In Art, Ms. Ely has helped me improve on shading and drawing 3D objects. In P.E., Ms. Becker teaches me different activities like football and team handball. She teaches me how to work in a team. All in all, I think that Mario Loiederman Middle School has good classes that can help any student every day.

I have enjoyed my Reading class since the second week of school. I like Ms. Guerrero because she doesn’t let me give up on myself. She makes me keep up with my good grades and she always says the truth to me and all students. She is funny, and still keeps going on with the Reading lesson. By Andre Clarke

I have some amazing news to share of what is

happening at Loiederman. I attend a Dance

class that will keep you moving and fit. I

personally like Dance because my teacher, Ms.

Sanz, is always so nice and creative with the

Dances that we do. We are doing a Dance that

just goes with the flow of the theme song

Children of the Corn. All of these magical

movements happen in a beautiful dance studio.

I also like P.E. with Mr. Whittles because I

love to work out and run around.

By Victoria Quiroga Loiederman is a cool school because of Mr. Austin. He has the same interests as I do. For example, he likes Star Wars like I do and uses little clips to describe the setting. That really helps me. I like my Band class with Ms. Carson because I get to play the viola. Ms. Carson explains to each one of us how to correct our mistakes. It’s fun because we get to learn about things we enjoy the way we like to learn. By Timothy Vargas The classes I have enjoyed are Math with Ms. Wilson and PE. With Mr. Whittles. Ms. Wilson really describes and explains the Math problems, and Mr. Whittles teaches us new moves when we play soccer. By Michael Garcia I have enjoyed Math at Loiederman Middle School. Mr. Godinez is very funny and lets us do hands on activities so we can understand the Math better. By Jennifer Salgado

I like Perspectives and Social Studies at

Loiederman Middle school. Ms. Mackie is nice

and fun. She lets us do fun things like make

our own songs and enter drawing contest. In

Mr. Landau’s class, we do fun projects like

making Egyptian mummies and more. We

learn a lot about the first humans and how

they survived.

By Kadasia Fostian

I have enjoyed Dance and Math at

Loiederman Middle School. In Dance, Ms.

Sanz, creates fun examples in order to make

it easy. For example, she said we can

pretend that we are sumo wrestlers. That

helped a lot. Ms. Whitaker makes Math fun

with games. One game that she made up was

that she put up a problem, tells us to solve

the Math problem. The group who gets it

right, gets to shoot in the trash can and we

win points.

By Iris Flores

In Science Ms. Taylor makes us do fun things

during class. She also lets us speak our mind

and gets along with all the students.

By Jelani Bates

My favorite subject is Math with Ms. Wilson.

We get to have lots of fun playing Jeopardy.

Dear Abby,

I like this guy and I’m not sure

if he likes me too. What should I do?

Curious Girl

Dear Curious girl,

If you really like him and you want to

know, ask him.

Abby

Dear Abby, I think my boyfriend is cheating on me with my best friend. What should I do? Upset Dear Upset, I think you should ask her if she did. If she says no, then ask him. If they both say no, stay calm, but keep your eyes open. Abby Dear Abby, My friend is dating, a girl I like, but he doesn’t like her. He’s doing it to get back at me. I’m worried for her. What should I do? Hurting Guy Dear Hurting Guy, You should tell her that he doesn’t really like her. Maybe it is a time for you to confess that you do like her. If you don’t tell her, and she finds out, you will wind up being hurt. Abby Dear Abby,

My best friend copied from my paper during a test. I know

that she is my best friend, but it is not fair that I studied all

night while she watched TV and now she wanted my correct

answers. Should I tell her how I feel? Honesty

Dear Honesty,

It is always a good idea to tell the truth – no matter if it is

your best friend. Besides that is what best friends are for – to help each other become better in every way.

Abby
