My elementry school teachers would offer advice to help me in middle school. I only know one thhing to expect in middle school: The teachers expect you to work very hard!
ReplyDeleteI feel ready for middle school! Well, at least halfway I supose... anyways, I fell very good about my grades for half of middle school by now! But one thing, I expect getting stuffed in a locker. I am concerned about the friends I might make. But one thing I am very happy to say, is that I have cool teachers that i like to listen to and they help me settle down on the thought of going to middle school.
ReplyDeleteI am going to be going to T.J. middle school. I can't believe middle school is so close! I feel quite prepared. I have no questions or concerns. I also know what to expect because of my brother. I feel like my teachers have taught me well because I do not think my teachers can not do anything to make me feel any more ready.
ReplyDeletei am going to Oakdale middle and i feel a little bit nervous academically. i think the teachers expect no late work, come to class on time, things like that. elementary school teachers should prepare you by treating you like a 6th grader. my question is how much time do you have to get to one class to another?

I am so happy that I am going to middle school, but also sad because most of my really good friends are going to T.J middle when I'm going to Oakdale middle. I feel very prepared, so prepared that I am not scared for middle school at all. Two questions i have is what electives can you have? and, How many teachers do you have? I think my teacher can help me out by showing more examples when I don't understand something. Lastly I am very well prepared for middle school because I have a sibling that is done with middle school and she's taught me alot

ReplyDeletei agree on french banana 42 because some kids have experiences, but i don't think they still can't prepare you.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to Oakdale. I feel prepared because I have freinds who are in sixth grade and they've told me it's fun. I want to know what time it starts and ends. My teachers have already been telling us what to expect. I know to expect.
ReplyDeletepinkponies 11 I agree that the elementry teachers should treat us like 6th graders now so that we are ready when we actally go to 6th grade.
ReplyDeleteI agree with pinkpines 14. I think that we have the same thoughts about middle school. Also i think we have the same worries.

I don't feel prepared academically. I don't feel prepared because it's not even the end of the year. Also I would like to be treated like a sixth grader to prepare for sixth grade. The school that I'm going to next year is oakdale middle.Sometimes my mom say things like I'm growing-up to fast. But I think I'm growing to slow.
ReplyDeletei feel ready and excited for middle school.I don't have many concerns for middle school i feel ready.maybe our teachers could have us do more independent work.yes i know what to expect my friends that are in middle school tell me about it.
ReplyDeleteIm really excited going to middle school. Im going to oakdale middle. I cant wait to go to middle school, but i have two questions: how hard is middle school? And how much homework do you get? Im ready to go to middle school.
ReplyDeleteI agree with pinkponies11 because i think that they wont expect any late work or be on time to class too
ReplyDeleteI also agree with PinkPonie11 because I wold hate to get a late pass.
ReplyDeleteI can and can't wait to go to middle school! I feel prepared academically because I'm having great teachers that do stuff I actually pay attention to! some of the concerns I have for middle school is the rumor of being stuffed in a locker true or not. some of the things I expect of middle school is not liking everyone, I expect that I will despise at least one teacher I might have, and I know there will be at least one evil dude in middle school. I think that my teachers don't need to change very much to make me feel comfortable to go to middle school.
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel good. But I am scared that I will forget some thing and then I will not be prepared and I will get I trouble.I'm thinking I need some help with math and I know that math is one of the most important subjects.I think in middle school they expect homework to be on time and same as projects and essays.
ReplyDeleteI am going to tj middle school also known as Thomas Johnson. Yes I do feel academically prepared for middle school I feel happy because I think I am one step closer to college.I have no questions and I already feel ready and I do know what to excpect
ReplyDeleteI'm going to Oakdale Middle School I feel sort of scared because I am not used to changing classes every little while. I think I know what expect but you can't be sure. I feel pretty read academically. I think I need some advice from my teacher.
ReplyDeleteI am going to oakdale middle school I am sort of prepared for the middle school and one queshion is the teachers tough on you because my sister goes there and they probley think i am like her but I am not. I think they are getting us ready by doing resherch papers. yes because my sister told me.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Pink pony 14, the teachers expect you to work very hard
ReplyDeleteI agree with frenchbanana31 I also feel all those ways about middle school.
ReplyDeleteI like frenchbanana31 because they use big, strong words
ReplyDeleteFrenchBanana31 has some questions that I would like to know as well.
ReplyDeleteI feel kind of ready for middle school, and i have two questions how many teachers do you get in middle school. My other question is how many periods are their in middle school, and iI don't know anyone in my family who goes or went to oakdale middle school, so I don't know what to expect in middle school.
ReplyDeleteI agree with FrenchBananna5 because I am not prepared to switch to middle school either.
ReplyDeleteI agree with pinkponie10 i feel really excited for middle school and i feel ready.
ReplyDeleteI feel almost prepared academically.That's because I still have somethings to learn in all subjects.I wanted to know how much time we get to get to our next class?Also what do we get there instead of a clip move?The elementary school teachers could maybe act more like the middle school teachers.I know in middle school they are more strict about everything.I also know that we get more freedom.
ReplyDeleteI agree with frenchbanana24 because i am also a little nervous also about middle school and i am going to oakdale middle school also.
ReplyDelete1)Yes I feel like I am prepared academically
ReplyDelete2)I have one question How long do we have between classes?
3)I think by preparing us a little better the teachers should give us a certain time to transition. So we catch on with getting to are middle school classes early.
4) I sort of know what to expect because I have a brother in middle school and some of his teachers are very strict but teach him a lot!
Bring it on middle school!
1) I think that I’m academically prepared for middle school because right now elementary school right now is pretty easy.
ReplyDelete2) One concern I have is will I be able to get to all my classes around the school?
3) One thing the teachers could do to prepare for middle school is during transition let us leave when we are ready.
4) One thing I could expect is not being treated like a kid.
I do feel ready academically for middle school, but it feels a little sad knowing I won't be able to come back here. My two concern for middle school are: 1. Having a different teacher for each subject 2. Getting up an hour earlier because I'm having trouble getting up right now. I think my teachers could tell us a little more information about middle school. I expect to do better in middle school because the work isn't getting easier and I want to keep getting straight A's on my report card.
ReplyDeleteMiddle school here I come
ReplyDelete1)I feel excited and scared.
2)How many classes are there?
3)Make up some tests and learn some sixth grade L.A.
4)I do know what to expect because my brother is in middle school.
I agree with french banana because i wonder how many periods there are
ReplyDeleteI agree with you frenchbanana46 because I feel the same way for question one.
ReplyDeleteI am going to oakdale middle.
ReplyDelete1.I do feel academically prepared but I don't know what it will be like in middle.
2. My questions about middle school are what classes will we be able to sign up for and what classes will we have to be in?
3. Our teachers could prepare us more by doing to same classes and transitions we do in middle school.
4. I don't know what to expect in middle school but after we visit the middle school I might understand middle school better.
I agree with pink pony 30 because I know I will despise a teacher and I all ready know who......(Mrs. Sams)
