Middle School Transitions

Hello LGA Families!

It’s MCA week for the Middle School students. This is a very busy month! We are gearing up for our Walking Field Trips to begin after the testing weeks. M.S. Transitions is focusing on Recreation & Leisure this quarter. We will be taking a few trips off campus (weather permitting) so students will need to bring a water bottle, sunblock & a hat or jacket (if needed). I will notify parents/guardians of the days we will be scheduling our Walking Field Trips on this site and on a permission form home as well.

Students will also be focusing on the following areas:

Peer relationships & building social networks

Types of recreation & leisure in the community

Please email me at snemiccola@lgamn.org with any questions or concerns.

Have a Superb Spring!

B2 Meal Planning

What is a balanced and healthy meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner and how does one cook it? Independent meal planning, preparation, cooking and cleaning up will be the focus of this course. Basic nutrition and food groups will be reviewed along with basic kitchen equipment use and safety. Students will compare the financial and health cost of eating out versus cooking at home. Students will learn about the wide range of grocery stores available in the community and practice how to compare prices at each store to fit one’s budget. Students will practice expected behaviors in navigating a grocery store in order to find and purchase needed ingredients. Students will learn how to find recipes both online and in cook books and will use those recipes to create shopping lists and to follow directions to make a meal. Students will be exposed to a variety of simple, healthy snacks and 30 minute or less meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

B4 Career Planning

Career Planning is a course intended to have students recognize their individual work values, strengths, interests and preferences through taking interest and skill inventories. Students will identify potential career paths that may be a good “fit” for them. Students will have the opportunity to create a personal career map that documents the skills, experiences, education and training needed to attain their desired job or career. Students will also be exposed to job descriptions and requirements, wage ranges for occupations and the current market outlook for specific career paths and will explore and learn about Minnesota career fields, cluster and pathways.
