In fifth grade we are starting to get into “Middle School Mode”. Middle school mode is making school more challenging. This blog will tell you what we are doing or things we need to change in the classroom

What is Middle School Mode?
Middle school mode is Mrs. A getting us ready to go up to middle school next year. Middle school mode started when we got back from Christmas break. Middle school mode is making the things we do in our classroom harder then it was before we started. Now that we are in middle school mode we are getting a lot more homework.

What does Middle School Mode mean?
Middle school mode means that Mrs. A is getting us prepared for what middle school is like. Upstairs when you don´t put your name on papers you lose points, so Mrs. A is getting us prepared for that.

Grading Things
We have started to grade our homework. In class we have started to check everything we do in red pen.

Transitions
As a fifth grade class we need to get better at transitions. During our transitions we always talk. We need to be a lot quieter during transitions. Our transitions should be quick and quiet.

Organization
The fifth grade classroom needs to be a lot more organized, for example our tables and spots need to be more organized. The textbooks could probably be more organized.

School is Getting Harder
When we started middle school mode everyone is struggling a little bit more because what we are doing in class is getting harder. We are getting a lot more homework than before we started middle school mode. Some examples of things getting harder are math and science.

That is what is happening in fifth grade. There are a few things we need to get better at, but I still think we are doing OK with middle school mode. I hope this blog helped you understand what we are doing or need to change in fifth grade.

If you were in fifth grade would you like middle school mode? Why or why not?
