6th<\/sup> GRADE SELF-REFLECTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear 5th grader,<\/p>\n

You are going to be in MS next year.\u00a0MS can be a fun & scary at the same time!\u00a0 Lots of kids are nervous about going to MS, they think they are going to forget their combination or they won\u2019t remember their schedule. To be honest I thought the exact same thing.\u00a0 Trust me; you won\u2019t forget your combinations because you practice it a lot. I was worried I would forget my schedule and to be honest I remembered the first week. Another bonus is all the teachers are really nice, they know what it\u2019s like to come from your small elementary to this big MS! \u00a06th<\/sup> grade Viking \u2013 \u201cGrace M\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When you are having a problem in school talk to your teacher or principal or even your best friend if you need to get something off your chest and do the same for your friend if your friend is having\u00a0a problem. If you are having trouble with what you are learning, talk to your teacher, they would love to help you.\u00a0Kids often think \u201cOh my gosh! I have so many different classes so I\u2019m going to have a boatload of homework.\u201d Figure out a time for homework not TV time or stuff like, stick to it everyday & eventually you will start to find that you don\u2019t have a lot of homework.\u00a0Kids stress about good grades, write down everything in your planner\u2026before you rush off home\u2026 think what do I need to bring home so, study for all of your tests even though you think you know all of it. One last thing, if you\u2019re absent ask your teachers for the work you missed. I hope this helps! Have an awesome year! 6th<\/sup> grade Viking<\/p>\n

Dear 5th<\/sup> graders,<\/p>\n

I remember when I first came to middle school I was a little scared that people would not like me for me. So I started to act like this smart bossy little girl and I hated that me. So my advice to the new sixth graders are just be yourself because if you pretend to be someone you\u2019re not you might just lose sight of who you are. Also you might not like that kid you are pretending to be. 6th<\/sup> grade Viking \u2013 \u201cAriel D\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Parents,<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t tell you how my mom or dad felt when I first started the sixth grade because I\u2019m not them.\u00a0But I can tell you how I wanted them to feel. I wanted them to feel like I\u2019m growing up. Show them lots of love and care as they make their transition because it\u2019s hard when you have to do something new that you know nothing about. Also the kid might be a little scared on how people my see him or her so just show them love and talk to them. Oh, yeah pray that they get this really awesome teacher named Mrs.Uetz, she is the absolute best teacher ever. 6th<\/sup> grade \u201cViking Ariel D\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear 5th<\/sup> grader,<\/p>\n

Some advice I would give to 5th<\/sup> graders coming into middle school would be \u201cstay away from the drama\u201d. All it does is bring you bad news, nothing good comes out of it except rumors seriously, I mean you should think before you repeat things especially if it would hurt someone\u2019s feelings. Would you want a rumor going around about you? I don\u2019t think so! So keep this in mind next time you say something about someone or text someone.\u00a0 6th<\/sup> grade is to meet new people and have new friends and to experiment new looks not to be like cool kids and uncool kids, winners & losers. 6th<\/sup> grade Viking \u2013 \u201cAJ\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear 5th<\/sup> grade students: Your 1st<\/sup> day at Smith might be a bit scary but you\u2019ll get over it. Smith is an OK school. Wish you best wishes. 6th<\/sup> grade Viking \u201cyour mom\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Parents, For advice for your 6th<\/sup> grade kids for sure you need to give them a break or let them relax because it is not easy. It will get really hard coming to 6th<\/sup> grade, it will get stressful. \u00a06th<\/sup> grade Viking \u201cKassa Frass\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear 5th<\/sup> grade students<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo good and focus. Once you get on the bad kid list you don’t come off\u201d \u2014L.J. 6th grade<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

, My advice to you would be no messing around in the hallway. Why? WE have these focus card that keep track of how you act in school and if you are late you will get your card signed. \u00a0If you get 10 boxes signed you will be sent to detention. 6th<\/sup> grade Viking<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Parents, I would let my kids take a break when they get home. \u00a0But I would also make sure they do all their homework and studying and if they need help try to help the best you can. \u00a06th<\/sup> grade Viking \u201cCollin R.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Students, One advice for you 5th<\/sup> graders is the more you study the more you will learn. Also, the harder you work the higher your grades get. 6th<\/sup> grade Viking<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Students, Since there is an A day\u00a0 a B day, I do the A day work on that day and the B day homework on B day. I don\u2019t have an overload of work. It works! 6th<\/sup> grade Viking<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Parents,<\/p>\n

Let your kid come home once you pick them up, let them have a snack then do their homework. 6th<\/sup> grade Viking Summer L.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Student, Some advice I have for you is: if they\u2019re not too heavy carry all your books at once. Going to your locker can slow you down.\u00a0 Go the bathroom between classes and bring a water bottle. Parents? Very few people can work nonstop without a break for incredible period of time. \u00a0Give your child a break when they get home, after which they should do their homework. \u00a06th<\/sup> grade Viking Adrian F.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear student, It is not as bad as you think. Middle school is very different from elementary. You want to meet lots of new friend but still keep in touch the old ones. Memorized your locker comb and always lock y9ur locket. Never put off homework till the last minute. Pay attention in class. Don\u2019t be afraid and be excited for middle School. Good Luck!!! 6th<\/sup> grade Viking \u201cDoodler 11\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
