Miss Turk's Class has written about their "Sixth Grade Year So Far" |
|
So far sixth grade is
very easy. I like it a lot better than fifth grade. The day seems to go
a lot faster when we have a lot to do every hour. It's not really that
scary at all, so I'm a bit surprised. I thought it was going to be a lot
harder too, but it really isn't that hard. Truthfully, I don't think we
get that much homework. It's more than fifth grade, but we never really
had homework in the fifth grade, so I maybe I was just concerned for
nothing Of course, this IS only the first marking period. It could change at any time. We could suddenly get five pounds of homework from each class! That's probably not going to happen though. So I don't think I'll have to worry too much about it. Well it's still a thought...Oh well! Better just worry about what's happening right now! Thank you for reading and have a good extra-long weekend! ~Samantha Briggs
School has been wonderful this
year. Everyday is a new adventure. All of my teachers are great and the
food in the cafeteria is unbeatable. We have easy homework and have fun
everyday. I hang out with y friends and do cool stuff. Our class went to
a cool place called plcbc. We played games and did activities. I got to
climb a wall. This year is one of the best. But it is a lot different
from Elementary school.
Dear Mrs. Eldridge
So far in the 6th grade I
like the classes. I have 7 periods. This is my second marking period
schedule.
I think that this year has
been a good year so far. For one thing, I'm getting along with people,
unlike two years before this. That's a good thing to be able to do,
because everyone will hate you if you can't, and then you won't have any
friends, (hello lonely lunch table.) Another reason it's a good year for
me is that I have A's in every subject, even gym! My easiest subject is
band, all you have to do to get an A is behave in class and practice for
at least an hour every week. Besides band, (which is really an elective)
I think my easiest class is Reading. I enjoy reading, but I know that a
lot of people don't, so I feel sorry for them because reading is what
the whole class is based on. Anyways, I feel like I'm doing pretty well
academically and OK socially, so I think that this is going to be a
great year!
So far, 6th grade has been
pretty easy. There has been a lot of changes coming from elementary to
middle school, such as going from class to class in 3 minutes, having so
many more books, no desk at all, you class rooms aren't right next to or
across from each other, ad the biggest change of all is not having
recess! I used to hate recess but now I really miss having it, last week
we were doing projects for reading and we had to go outside down the
hill for one that really made me realize that I missed running up and
down it during recess. I love the fact that we get locks on our lockers
because last year a lot of things got stolen from people and now they
can only steal from you if you have gave them your combination. I don't
like when the bell rings and you need to get books out of your locker
and it won't open because you can't get the combination right! The gym
lockers are awesome because last year I remember forgetting clothes for
gym and having to run around in sweat the rest of the day [disgusting].
I like having more than 3 teachers for everything, now I have Ms. Turk,
Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Hunter, Mrs. Warman, and or fourth hour teacher which
changes every marking period. My grades are very good this year. I got
all A's the first marking period. Basketball's started and it's a lot of
fun [like last year], and our team has improved a lot which is great.
Last year we only won 2 games [one being a scrimmage] and we won our
first two games! There is a lot more I could write about but I think I
have a lot here. So far 6th grade is easier than I thought.
This year my
classmates and I have entered the sixth grade. I thought it would be
really hard for school work or just to get to classes on time, but it's
not that hard.
So far this year has been
o.k., but I have been having a problem with my grades in math. I mean
Mrs. Brown was an awesome teacher. I mean don't get me wrong I like Mrs.
Warmen but Mrs. Brown didn't give us homework every single night. |
My sixth grade year so
far has been fun but a little hard. My favorite subjects are Math,
Geography, and Band. It's kind of hard because if your locker doesn't
open you might be late for class. Also if you don't get your homework
done, you get a zero for the grade. When you are trying to get from class to class it's kind of hard because the hallways are very crowded, and my locker is all the way at the end of the hallway. I thought three minutes in between classes was going to be very hard to make it to class, but so far I haven't been tardy once. It turns out it is very easy. Now that I'm in middle school it has been a whole lot easier than what I expected. You just have to stay organized and you will probably get through it. Gym is a lot different too. I thought it was going to be horrible, because I'm very not athletic, but it turns out I'm getting a very good grade in it. It seems like in the beginning of the year I was never going to make it through sixth grade. Now it's like a daily schedule. It's gone by so quickly; I mean it's already the end of the first marking period. Pretty soon it will be the end of the second marking period, and I will be switching from Spanish to Reading. I hope I get adjusted to that like I got adjusted to sixth grade. ~Lauren Merriman
This
year so far has been great! The worst grade I'm getting is a C. That
grade is in math and I not very good in math. But other than that I'm
doing good. My favorite teacher is Mrs. Ramsey, and I don't have a
favorite subject. The class I don't like is Spanish it’s boring! On the
plus side both my gym and my regular locker have easy combs to remember
and I share a locker with one of my good friends.
The
school year so far has been great and it fun because my teachers that I
have are really nice. My favorite subject so far is science and math. My
grades are good but not the best but I am working on them. Gym is
another favorite class of mine that I like a lot because we get to play
cool games like volleyball and basketball. I also like Ms. Turk class
for English and we get to do cool things like doing All the Right Type.
Spanish is not my favorite class because we never do any thing that is I
can relate to. Geography is one of the classes that I like because we do
lot of things that keep us busy and that is why I like that class. This
quarter of the school is great because we do fun things.
So far sixth grade
has been pretty easy, I have either an A or B+ in all my classes. I
think math and geography are the hardest classes for me.
Well school the first
marking period was okay you could say. Other than homework every night
it was pretty good. Um the teachers yea well the teachers are okay. I
think my favorite teacher would have to be Mrs. Ramsey. I do like
walking down the high school. I am not on the student council, but
that's okay. All my classes are great, but I don't really like Spanish.
I have lots of books to carry around in my backpack. Everything is just
so different. I am doing really good in all my classes. The hardest part
of the day is trying to get up the stairs for Spanish because you can't
run or you will fall backwards. The first marking period was great. I am
getting used to all my classes. I have a few new teachers, well all but
Mrs. Ramsey. I had her last year. I like being a sixth grader and I have
waited to be one for a long time. Also we are in middle school we have
to act like we are sixth graders. Now comes the second marking period
and it's going to get harder and harder. At first I thought it was going
to be hard but it's easy. I like being a sixth grader.
So far sixth grade is going
great, the really hard part is opening my gym lock some times it takes
me five times to get it open. My regular locker is just fine, to be able
to go to my locker and go to class I set my lock to where I just have to
turn it to the last number. The so many different classes with the
switching it seems like the day is going to go by faster. It is way
different from the Elementary. This year I get to be part of the J.V/Varsity
girl’s basketball it's really cool. This year I got to be in sop class
it was fun. The only class that I don't really like is Spanish I only
like it because it's a really easy A. The classes are really easy. On my
progress reports I am getting an A overall for all of them. My favorite
class overall is science class it's also really easy. So far that’s
mostly about the 6th grade.
Sixth grade so far has been
fine for the most part. I don't really like my classes though. Study
Skills I thought was going to be boring. Now that I have seen what it
was like for the first week, it has pretty good actually. We already had
a project about what a good student is like and what their
characteristics are. That was an OK project. ~Daniel Kinn This marking period has been good so far like some classes like math and P.E. and English. I thought it would have been a lot worse, but it turned out to be better than I thought it would be. Like P.E. at first I thought it would be torture but then it turned out to be a lot easier than I thought. We got to play flag football, speed ball, and volley ball next we are going to play basket ball. The same goes for the lock on the locker it was hard enough remembering the combination for one lock and knowing how to open it, but then the next day we got another lock and locker numbers to remember, but now I am doing well with that. That is what this marking period has been like so far. ~Natasha Vasquez This first marking period has been well ok I guess. At first on the first day of school 6th grade it was hared. It was hared getting to all our classes on time and getting and getting your locker open. Any ways I really don’t have any thing to really say I mean now 6th grade is easy and I kind of like it a little. Just to say it was a really big change from boring 5th grade. Oh yeah this year we have PE every day and that was one of my favorite subjects in 5th grade. Lets see walking through the hallway its not so bad the high scholars do there what the want and they don’t bother you that much ant least they don’t bother me anyways. Well I used to be scare to even know that we had to walk with the high school hallway. That’s basically what I think or 6th grade and I don’t like homework every night but I get it any ways. ~Mikelle Lonsbury End of the 1st Marking Period November 2007 |
