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!

Transitions Classes

As we move into Week 7, the Transitions class students are continuing to explore and discuss topics such as perspective taking, appropriate and inappropriate behaviors, social awareness of boundaries, and interpreting communication messages.  This week we began to discuss the nature and art of developing effective communication strategies.

During the next few weeks we will be taking our class quizzes to summarize our topic areas.  Students continue to develop their Social Goals each week and are reviewing their own individual successes.  Students are encouraged to work on goals that are relevant to school or home and already a part of their everyday activities and routines.

Next week we will have a short week so 2 Social Goals will be set for the long weekend to be accomplished.
