Packin' Up - The Middle School Transition Guide
"The transition from elementary to middle school is often an exciting, yet nerve- racking time for students. Best case scenario would be that each rising 6th grader feels prepared to enter middle school. As educators or parents, we can greatly enhance students‘ comfort level with this change by exposing them to common concerns that arise in middle school and equipping them with skills necessary to be successful. Packin‘ Up: The Middle School Transition Guide is created in an effort to support 5th grade counselors, 6th grade counselors and parents in this endeavor. The information within this guide can be used by counselors and parents at the elementary and middle school levels; therefore, it can be tailored to the school‘s goals and students‘ needs."

It's LOCK time! See the video below to show you how to open a combination lock!
Tips:
1. Clear the lock first by spinning it clockwise a few times! 2. Right, left right (Clockwise, counter-clockwise, clockwise) 3. Pass the second number one time then stop at it. 4. You don't have to push down on the dial of the lock when you get to a number in the combination. 5. You don't need to start at zero. 6. You don't need to twist your hand as you turn, you can let go and then continue to spin the lock. 7. Go slow so you don't pass a number. 8. Make sure you are stopping at the right number, (29 comes before 30, not after) 9. If you mess up, start all over from the beginning! 10. Make sure your lock is closed after you finish, pull on it to check. |
