1 A. Mario Loiederman Middle School The Lion s Den Issue 1 November 2011 What Teachers are doing to make Learning Fun! My 6 th 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! By Kayla Chandler 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. By Cesar Osorto Mane Events 1. What Teachers Are Doing 3. Did You Know? 6. Music 8.

2 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. By Danny Tobar The Lion s Den 2 Sponsor: Ms. Guerrero
