O my gosh! First Mrs. D is this ok for me to be checking out your page and occasionally posting? If not this will be the last. Middle school is so awesome! When I was in 5th grade being at the top was awesome. People looked up to you so it was important that your behavior and attitude was good. Homework in the ?begininning? is a lot but after a couple of weeks you will get used to what takes the longest, what is the hardest, and of course the easiest. Mrs. D is an amazing teacher! Ahead of you is a great year and I wish every single one of you the best of luck. Fifth grade will be awesome and I can’t wait to hear how it’s going. Before I leave, a couple of tips don’t use the word things, but, it, or something. I think. O I forgot my goal in fifth grade. I wanted to master how long hw took, what was the hardest, and the easiest. Remember teachers are here to help you, don’t ever forget what Mrs. D and Mrs. Williams are there for!

Former 5th grader.
Absolutely! You should continue to blog and keep in touch! The 5th graders LOVE hearing from the older students!
Yes we do.

Hey. Its abby. For those who dont know me and are thinking “who is this wacky stalker” I am a 6th grader. I was in Mrs Daugherty AWESOME class last year. I know there are so many rumors saying that 5th is awful but those people didnt have mrs daugherty! I ll be trying to keep up with the blog so if u have any questions Im always here.
i wanna be a fifth grader again!!!!!!! maybe i can pretend to be a new foreign exchange student. that way if i go into 5th no one will know i am really a 6th grader. it would b worth it!
Funny Abby.
Hey Mrs. Daugherty!! I miss your class sooo much!!!
Josie – I miss you too! How is 6th grade?
her class is awesome
her class is awesome!
I think it’s really cool to be at the top of lower school!!! I have to admit I am kind of worried about the homework. I know I will have to be responsible with homework and everything else in 5th grade. That would be my goal, to be really responsible. I am going to have to really spend my time wisely when I get home from school on Monday and Wednesday. Those are the days I have dance. I get home at 9 o’clock and finish my homework as soon as possible! Even though I have a couple of concerns I know 5th grade will be pretty fun!
Grace Ann,
You are doing a beautiful job with everything! You are extremely responsible and I have no doubt you will get everything done!
Mrs. D
Thank You Mrs.D.
I think that is a great goal to set Grace Ann! It’s good your a fast worker too because you get home at 9 sometimes!
Even later.
Wow! You must be good at time-management.
I know what you mean. I get home at 8:45 sometimes.
I know what you feel like because I have softball at 6:00 to 7:30 and I can hardly get my work done.
Cathryn,
What do you do from 4-5? Can you do your homework then? You only have an hour a night and that way you get it done before you go to practice. Do you have practice every night?
I can’t believe that we have the same struggles. I am worried about homework too! But we can struggle through it together we can get mrs. d’s help too, you will probably not need it as much i will but we still can. 😀
Hi Mrs.Daugherty. Why aren’t any of your students posting?
Sebastian – we just got the blog up and running this week! You should start to see posts tonight – it is their homework!
Mrs. D
It feels like you always have expectations from all of the teachers to be an example. I am worried that I will not be able to finish my homework. Do my homework first and quikly but effectively. Trying to make it through 5th grade also to be more organized with my desk and binder. My desk is never neat and I don’t no why. I also don’t want to be very late because somtimes we have a lot of morning work.
Ari – You are doing a great job of being an example! It seems likes a process now of organizing yourself, but in two months you will see how far you have come! I am proud of all of your effort!
Mrs. D
Did yousent out an e-mail that the blog was not due until Sunday?
Yes, I did :-).
Mrs. D
I think you are great at being organized.
I feel like the king of the world in 5th grade! I still have to be an example for the youngsters though:). 5th grade teachers have a lot of rules and expectations too! By the end of 5th grade I want to be very organized and work at a good pace for homework, morning work, and classwork. I also want to become a GREAT reader. I hope 5th grade will be as great as all the other years in lower school. I am looking forward to a great and awesome year in 5th grade.
I am confident you will become a GREAT reader! We do have a lot of rules and expectations, but they aren’t put in place to punish, they are put in place to guide you to 6th grade! I know that in just a few weeks you will have the routine down and be working at a good pace. It is just the adjustment that is so hard :-).
Mrs. D
I feel king of the world too!
Anything to get ready for 6th grade!
It is really different.
You obviously have already set a good pace for yourself for classwork (especially morning work)! Keep up the good work and I am sure you will do wonderful in 5th grade!
My goal this year is to get straight A’s on my report card. also I want to type correctly even though i am not good at it. I hope this year will be a great and successful year. It is pretty cool being at the top of the school. I don’t love the homework but I bet 5th grade will be a great year! I hope my goals will come true. I love being in Mrs. Daugherty’s 5th grade class!
Kelsey, you are doing a great job typing – don’t say that you aren’t good at it! I am proud of your progress and your hard work! I know you can reach your goal!
Mrs. D
I will be watching you too! Hands on the home row!
no promises
I think it feels awesome that I or we are at the top of elementary school, I remember last year how cool I thought the 5th grader were, well now I am one of those cool 5th graders. I am worried about s.s and science not my best subjects but I think I will do pretty well. I will manage my time by trying to get my homework done by the amout of time that you give list us on our agenda board for us. I have one goal for myself and that is to not get any agenda marks for the rest of the year or for at least for a while.
I love your goal, but I also don’t want you to get upset if for some reason you do get an agenda mark! One isn’t a big deal and don’t let that crush your spirit! Don’t worry about science and SS we will get through those subjects and I will help you! Let me know anytime you have a question!
Mrs. D
Kendall I think we have the same struggles with s.s and science!! 😦 I am not the brightest when it comes to those things(Laugh). I thought the fifth graders were all that too.
I am the same as you guys! Science and s.s. are my weak points in school. I hope that changes by the end of the year!:)
Me too.
I hope it changes too.
You all are doing a WONDERFUL job with science and SS. Don’t worry!
I think that it’s awesome to be at the top of elementary school because the little kids look up to the 5th graders. I must say that I am worried about getting bad grades on my work, but I know that God will help me. I’m going to try to use those RARE homework times in class and not dilly-dally when I do my work. My goals for 5th grade are to get good grades on my report card, make new friends, enjoy my old friends, and to learn new things every day. I also hope to do well in my chess competitions. This year is definitely going to be a blast!
-Christine-
Yes, Christine, I think this year will be a blast! Please keep us updated on your chess competitions! I want to know whenever you have a match and I want to know the outcome!
keep me posted too please!
I was sick and couldn’t go for any chess competitions. I went to a Bible Quiz competition this Saturday though. My team came in second place and I got first for individual standings in my division. I thank God for this because I was very nervous!
AWESOME!!!! You will have to tell us more about this!!!!
Mrs. D
I think its going to be awesome to be able to set an example for the whole school. I have been stressed these past few weeks but, when you have an awesome teacher like mrs. Daugherty to talk to you will feel so much better. I am strugaling a little bit with morning work and staying in at recess but if I use my time wisly i can be done with morning work actually start working on my challengs folder. My goal this year is to have people in lower grades trying to be like me if i set an example for them. Also im having a real hard time trying not to yawn and cover it up she still sees it !
Walker – that is too funny! I think we will definitely have to dance today to liven things up! You are doing a great job and I don’t want you staying in at recess anymore!!!! You are doing a wonderful job of being a good example to the rest of the school! Keep up the good work!
whoa finaly a boy is on I think it’s going to be cool setting examples for the whole school to!I think you do great in maorning work!Don’t worry your the 2nd smatest person in the class because ovilosly I’m the “SMARTEST”{aka I’m probily not the smartest kid in the class.Keep up the good wok and remember every little thing is gona be all right man.
whoa finaly a boy is on I think it’s going to be cool setting examples for the whole school to!I think you do great in morning work!Keep up the good wok and remember every little thing is gona be all right man.
I will be there with you on yawning Walker!!! 😉
Me too!
I’m also yawning with Walker and you, Grace Ann!!!!:)
Hey Walker-I am having a hard time with yawning too. Feel like dancing? 🙂
😉
Walker I suggest you don’t yawn even if Mrs.Daugherty is not in the classroom or at school. Mrs.Daugherty will find out
But still i also have trouble with yawning =-}
Hey Walker, we all trouble with yawning and morning work but don’t feel to bad.
My goals are to make strait A’s, yawn a lot, and have fun! I can’t wait for the overnight I just hope there will be no bear sightings! I don’t want any bear sightings because the last time there was a bear sighting we had to leave early.I also heard there was a ton of homework but, my brother was complaning to much over 50 min. I’m so glad we’re at the top of lower school now because we’ve got more responsibility and we can boss around little kids ( I’m just kidding.) I will manage my time with homework with having less activities this year.
Mary,
Homework is all about time management and it looks like you are doing a great job!
Mrs. D
Thanks I’m trying very hard with homework.
It feels great to be the top of the totem pole!What I’m worried late work mrs Daugherty you know I’ve “NEVER” lost anything.I also have trouble with morning work and yawning are both probs,but, I’m sure with mrs. Daugherty’s and my spiecal powers can combine and take over my problems!!!
Sean,
I am certain that you will be able to get yourself organizer! I like the visual of being at the top of the totem pole!
Mrs. D
So far I am doing pretty well managing my homework. Sometimes I don’t finish my morning work on time. My goal this year is to do the best I can. I want to do the best I’ve ever done because this is my last year of lower school. It still feels pretty great to be at the top, but I don’t want to leave next year. I won’t get to see my other teachers as much any more, so I should enjoy lower school while it lasts.
Grace,
What an awesome post! You should enjoy all the fun and privileges you have in lower school while you are here, before you think about moving on to middle school!
Mrs. D
You are doing a great job in 5th grade, so don’t worry too much! I know you will do well in your studies. 🙂
Grace,
I know how you feel!! Since Middle School is in a different building next year, we won’t be able to see our fifth grade teachers as often. I am getting better at managing my homework, as well.
Hi Mrs. Daugherty, this is my first time I’m blogging. It feels good being in fifth-grade, it’s like were kings and queens. I am very nervous about the homework this year!! I will try to manage my time with homework by using a schedule. It is very hard with three nights of football from 5:30 to 8:30. My goal is to try to get use to the new school. It is working out great so far. I hope I can survive fifth-grade.
John,
You are doing an excellent job! I know it is tough with Football, we have the same issue in my house with my son! You have adjusted beautifully at KR and we are so glad you are here. I am glad you have setup a homework schedule I think that will help you a lot!
Mrs. D
Thanks Mrs. D. I hope you enjoyed your days off, have a good weekend!
John I know exactly how you feel with homework and all all your sports. I play baseball so I have a tight schedule too. All you need to do is have a time limit like 3:30 to 4:30 and if you still can’t finish your homework just do it after football. See ya Monday and have a good weekend.
That is GREAT advice, Sebastian! However, hopefully you are finishing everything in that time frame. How are you doing? Are you getting everything done in one hour?
I agree with you Sebastian. What I do is that I always take a short break so that I don’t work, work, work! I also set goals and reward myself with a treat when I complete my work. This motivates me when I do my work.
I’m very excited about 5th grade and I think it will be fun to be an influence on all the younger students. Sometimes in class I wonder about what 6th grade will be like. Sometimes I think of some questions about 6th grade like, “Will 6th grade be hard for me?”, and things like that. I like to manage my time by always getting my homework done first. I also make sure that in school I finish any work that needs to be done before anything else. My goal this year is to make A’s on all my subjects. Another goal is that I want to make sure that I have the best school year EVER!
Tyler,
Don’t worry about 6th grade yet! Let’s get through 5th! You are doing great and I am sure you will have an awesome year!
Mrs. D
Thanks Mrs.D
I can’t believe that I’m finally in fifth grade. This year is going to be awesome.We get to be kings’ of the school. My main goal is to get straight A’s on my report card, that would be great. Even if there is a lot of home work I can still manage to finish all my home work and still play baseball, but sometimes I have to do my homework after baseball. I still know I’m going to have fun in 5th grade especially with Mrs. Daugherty.
I can’t believe that we’re in fifth grade either!! It will definitely be a challenge to to get straight A’s on your report card but I think you can do anything you set your mind to. You’re goals are great!
It feels AWESOOOOOME to finally be a fifth grader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was worried about making friends this year. I was also wondering who I would have for a homeroom teacher. I am trying to manage my time at home and especially at school because so far I don’t think I have done such a great job with that. 😦 My goal for this year is to not get in trouble and to make lots of friends. I know I will have a ton of fun with Mrs. Daugherty!!!
Blake,
I know you can accomplish your goals and you are making great progress in time management, so don’t let that get you down! We are going to have a lot of fun!!!!
Mrs. D
HI Mrs. Daugherty my goal this year is to have lots of friends this year. My other goal is to make A’s and B’s.I’m going to manage my homework very well. I love being at the top of elementary school. I’m worried about my grades. I hope this is the best year of school ever.
Matt,
You will do a GREAT job this year! I have no doubt you will accomplish your goals!
Mrs. D
It feels good to think that I will be in Middle School for my sixth grade year. At my old school, sixth grade was still part of elementary school. This school is very different, so I worry about keeping up with the change of pace. Sometimes I start my homework on the way home from school, and I finish it up when I get home. My goal for the year is to try to be more organized. Since this is my first year of Spanish, I hope to become more fluent in conversational Spanish.
It is great to finally have reached the top of the Lower School. I have a lot of friends in grades below me too. It has been fun watching them go to each new grade. Next year I will be in Middle School with my sister. I am looking forward to that. My goals for this year are to be better organized and try to make myself get homework done on time. It is hard to manage what is due and still go to football. Basketball will not have as many practices. Mrs. Daugherty is keeping things fun for us with her chicken dance!
I love 5th grade! I like how you get to have more freedom than the lower grades. Also I like how we get awesome teachers like Mrs. Daugherty! My goal this year is to get good grades. I am not worried about anything. I think I can easily manage homework. I am very happy to see the smaller kids advance. GO FIFTH GRADE!!!!
wow! you guys post a lot! sounds like your having fun though.
Yes we are.
Dear Mrs.Daughetry and class,
I am also in 5th grade but I am in Bangkok,Thailand. To answer the question on your post is kind of hard. It is amazing and also things that can not be explained in words.
