My decision to pick the shape of a globe came from the fact that that picture shows more of the Earth than any other backdrop, and culture is worldwide. It also gave plenty of space for all my words.

Welcome to 6^th grade

JLK

                As a student half way through my last year in elementary, the transition between divisions piqued my curiosity. Even though some teachers don’t consider the transition between elementary and middle school one of the most important, Mrs. Sara Khoury disagreed, “I think that the transition is the biggest transition students go through in their student lives,” she said, as I questioned her on the transition.

                A step into middle school also comes with some requirements, “You definitely need more responsibility,” stated Mohammad H., a newly promoted 6^th grader. Mrs.Khoury also thought that moving into 6^th grade required increased responsibility, “Going from E.S. to M.S. is going from being with one room with teachers coming to you to suddenly having a locker outside the classroom and having to organize yourself, you need to organize your time, you have to remember your schedule and were the rooms are, so there’s a lot of new responsibility that falls on the students’ shoulders.” The chance to have the time and space to move freely also requires enhanced independence.

                Excitement has stirred around the 5^th grade hall as the thought of moving up has passed around the students. I asked Hadi A. how excited he was, “I am extremely excited,” he said, “but I will miss this building.” I asked Mohammad, “I much prefer M.S.,” he answered with enthusiasm.

                Moving into middle school is very exciting and moving in will be extremely nerve wracking, and as 2011 comes to a close the transition is ever closer.

Christmas time is coming and decorations are starting to appear on every shop window. People are starting to put up their Christmas trees and and rushing about all the time, fearing that they won't get everyone's gifts in time.

The feeling of Christmas is something different from the feeling of the west. Instead of snow, the sun shines through every day of the month. The heat may be different and yet people come out covered in layer after layer after layer of thick clothing. Back in the U.K. walking on the pavement was not an option, for they were covered in ice! Never the less, the spirit of Christmas stretches across all four corners of the earth, and Lebanon's no exception.
