Sixth grade

the discussion surrounding how people in the LGBTQ community are mentally ill and are committing a sin didn't help. And at times it really got to me and I would even go to the bathroom crying. But to me the worst part was this year during my 8th grade year. A few weeks ago homosexuality was once again brought up and I had found that just tuning it out was probably my best bet so that's what I did. But this time something she said got my attention. She told us the story of how her bestfriend…

The first article I have chosen to review is titled, To what extent do different multiple intelligences affect sixth grade students’ achievement level on the particle model of matter, by Zehra Ozdilek. In the introduction of this article, he explains how students in a Turkish elementary school are having a difficult time understanding the concept of matter which was new in the curriculum that year. He then also explains how Howard Gardner believe that teachers needed to be aware that each child…

An Outsider “I wish you could see all the pain and emotion that is built up inside me.” My school and social life was very different in elementary school than how it is now. Back to kindergarten all throughout elementary and a bit of 6th grade, I was in so much emotional pain. I wasn’t happy with my appearance or body, I would always put myself down, had zero confidence in myself and hated who I was. There was a point where I believed everyone who left me out, and made fun of me. I believed…

Alyssa, the Tutor I was sitting in my sixth grade class, eager to see what we would be doing for the day. My teacher, Mrs. Sobus, was passing out papers from the tests we had last week. I had a feeling I did not do so well considering my scores from tests in the past. I anxiously sat in my seat and looked around the big, white classroom covered in shark images. As I looked around, I saw everyone talking to each other and being happy with their grades and there I sat with a devastated face. I…

Sixth grade has been like a tornado coming my way, fast and full of changes. Furiously charging towards me making me notice that this year will be different. Since 5th grade I have had many things change this past school year. Going into 6th grade I have had confusing friendships, more responsibilities, and a lot more freedom. Friends come and go, especially over the 6th grade year. Friends go away, since sixth grade is the first year where two schools come together, you find out who your real…

memories of reading, but unfortunately I vividly remember the negative experience because it hit me the hardest. I went to Riverdale Elementary School, a dry dull red brick school. When I was in first grade, the school was offering tutors, sixth graders, to help the students in the lower grades. The sixth graders specifically helped with reading, and they were trying to pace the students to be proficient or even to an advance level. My mother, dark tanned skin, long black silky hair immediately…

She said her grandparents were extremely unhappy with the decisions. In High School Haley excelled with a grade point average that was above a 4.0. She participated in Tennis as a sport. Haley’s mother was a lab technician, and worked a lot of hours. I asked about her father and what he was like. Haley then went on to tell me that he was the manager at the…

I was in the 7th grade just living my life. It was towards the end of the school year and we were at recess. It was a beautiful day outside without a cloud in the sky. We were playing a nice game of kickball. I remember things leaning up to what happened but not exactly…

Grades are supposed to tell you how smart you are, right? No. They don’t tell you how smart you are. The school grading system just holds you to a standard. I’ve always been bad at school. It made me feel worse about myself. Like I wasn’t as smart as everyone else. I didn’t have that help at home. I kinda just had to tough it out and pay attention in class. If the school grading system got abolished, students’ would have more opportunity. “Grades can only really be experienced as a reward or…
