Fifth grade

been for the most part positive from 6th grade onwards. From 1st grade to 5th grade I was not conscientious so at times math tests produced anxiety but math was, at the same time, easier and simpler back then. I recall being the fastest person to state the multiplication tables in 4th grade. During 6th to 8th grade, although I was not necessarily the smartest, I landed at the top of the class in advance math since I was very hard working. However in 9th grade I recalled a horrific incident. I…

bullying the next year. That caused me to leave school two weeks into fourth grade. Don’t tell my mother. We first went to Nova, a school in which I had to work at home and then come in once a week for a check-up. That didn’t work out, so for 5th grade, I joined an online learning system called K-12. It wasn’t the best and I really hated it. In 6th grade, I joined Laurel Springs Online Academy. However, for the second half of 6th grade and the first half of 7th, I joined my local middle school.…

Fifth grade is a cardinal year; an important milestone in everyone’s life, especially mine. With the first day approaching, and the warm summer of 2009 coming to a close, many of my peers were bursting from the seams with excitement as well as harmless cockiness; we had earned our positions as the top dogs at Pineville Elementary! With my fresh, glossy folders and binders and notebooks, and an outfit I picked out all by myself ready to go, I assured my mom she didn't have to walk me to my class…

What are some changes that have occurred in you from fifth to sixth grade? From fifth to sixth grade both positive and negative changes have occurred to me. Since I have moved from fifth to sixth grade I have become more responsible, had some positive and negative effects with friends, and even had some changes at home. Since sixth grade has started, I have become more responsible and had more responsibilities. First, I have to remember to get to class on time. If I am tardy to class, I will…

To me I think that losing something or someone is the one of the only ways to truly appreciate it and I figured that out when I was in fifth grade. In fifth grade as I was coming home from school something seemed different, my mom was a lot more quiet than usual and seemed like she had something bad on her mind. Later she called my brother, my sister and I into the living room and said she had something to tell us. She told us that my dad had gone to rehab and that we wouldn't be able to see him…

PPS Fourth grade was certainly a year to remember. I made quite a lot of good friends, and I learned a lot of interesting stuff. At that time (and still now), science was one of my favorite subjects. As the end of fourth grade was approaching, I was as happy as any of my classmates. Fifth grade would bring a multitude of surprises, such as the graduation ceremony and party. I was eagerly waiting for that moment to arrive. You were already in fifth grade. I didn't know you until you…

from the course packet "Poetry: Reading, Responding, Writing" was "Fifth Grade Autobiography", written by Rita Dove in 1989. The speaker in the poem is either a young boy or girl who is reflecting back on a specific memory of a family trip on a lake in Michigan when they were four years old. While first reading this poem, my first instinct was that it was going to be a narrative piece about the speakers literal time in the fifth grade, but upon further analysis, I found this poem to be much more…

“Koen?” Mr. Blume, my sixth grade teacher read off the roll sheet. “Here!” Koen said as he raised his hand. It was the first day of my sixth grade year. I was sitting straight up in my desk while wearing my brand new school clothes. My mom had curled my hair for this special occasion, and I was even allowed to wear a bit of mascara on my eyes. “Mia?” Mr. Blume read. Another girl sitting across the room from me had perked up, and her and I simultaneously shouted, “Here!” “Mia Aicher?” Mr.…

process of selecting high-impact reading strategies was underway. To address the low motivation for reading, a school-wide reading initiative was designed to motivate students and reward students for meeting quarterly reading goals. Students for each grade level were assigned an individual reading goal to meet by the end of the year but divided into 4 quarterly segments. Since our school theme for this year is ‘Riding the Wave of Success,’ our reading initiative was named the Big Kahuna. The…
