The daily life of a 6th grader is awesome. Although it does have some hard transitions from 5th to 6th grade, we have all successfully transitioned! It is awesome being able to get new teachers and have new classes with specialized personnel for each class. It is fun being able to transition from class to class, as it also gives us a chance to see new friends in each class and not have the same people in the same class. It is nice because you can see all of your classmates in a day. Time also flies when you are in middle school. It is the first hour, then all of a sudden it is lunch, then at the end of the day you also get Academic Focus to get your homework done so you don’t have to do so much at home.
All week there are new things to look forward to. Even if it’s a test, it sparks our learning and helps us to be the best students we can be. Every teacher is always willing to help us, and they all understand that transitioning from elementary school to middle school is a huge jump! I don’t think I would have middle school any other way. Plus, 7th and 8th graders are very nice to us and are always helping us in any way possible. Every day is full of fun and learning. Being a sixth grader is awesome here at Notre Dame, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
