Nancia I always thought middle school was a hidden secret. I taught core which was language arts and social studies. We connected the two through literature. Part way through my middle school years they rearranged the history and gave sixth grade ancient cultures. I loved teaching Ancient Egypt, Greece, China etc. I spent 18 years in middle school and then became the GATE coordinator for my last 5 years . Lots of good memories.
