Always have good behavior, turn in your homework, and be respectful to all teachers.”- Maureen “If you are having a hard time with fractions, work on it, because there are a lot of standards with fractions. You will love all the teachers. Be ready to work. There is a lot of homework but they are just trying to get us ready for Middle School.” – Emma “Sharpen your pencils only in the morning. Don’t get in trouble and always do your best to show respect and responsibility. Don’t bully other people.”- Avery “Work extra hard, bring extra supplies, always trust your teachers, make friends with everyone, and DON’T BE A BULLY. There is class Dojo, and there is something new for you called 4-H.” – Elijah “Expect: WORK! A lot of spelling homework, testing, fractions, projects, school, kids looking up to you, and following you around, 4-H, and DARE. Do Not Expect: me being here, Kindergarten stuff, slacking off (no way Jose). Therefore, 5 th grade is just like 4th grade but a more advanced version.”- Mason B. “You need to be responsible. Be prepared to do a lot of work. Have a lot of respect for your teachers. You will have 4-H once a month and tests on Fridays.- Makayla “Don’t be scared to ask questions in class. It’s not a good idea to sit next to a best friend. Just sit in a good spot that won’t make you talk to the person next to you. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. It’s not that hard, trust me. Be friends with all of your classmates, it will help (A LOT).” – Irelynn “Homework is very important, it can and will take your grades down. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT be off task!

Only follow directions from teachers.” –Emilio “Write your projects and your homework in an agenda. Stay organized. Stay calm. You get to take graduation pictures.” Bryn “Be ready to learn. Have high expectations. Do your best, be a leader. Give respect and earn it back. Ask for help (you can’t do everything by yourself.) Grow up. Have each other’s back.”- Romarrus “There is lots of writing, like writing 5 paragraphs with editing and stuff in under 2 hours. The teachers expect responsibility and respect.” –Evan “You have to earn your recess. You’re the leader of the school.
