“When you were in lower school, what was soemthing that you were excited about for fifth grade? How do you feel about it now that you’ve done it?
What was something about fifth grade that you were a little nervous or worried about? How do you feel about it now?
What is something about which you are still a little nervous or worried? What might you do to feel a little less nervous or worried?
What is something that you haven’t done yet in middle school about which you are excited? What are you excited about it?”

In lower school I was excited to be able to walk to my own classes in fifth grade. I feel very responsible now that I’ve done it because it’s your responsibility to get to class on time and have everything you need.

I was worried about the amount of homework because I thought that we would be getting a lot. Now I am not that worried because we don’t have an overwhelming amount of homework.

I’m excited to join the varsity teams in 7th and 8th grade because I’ll be able to play sports I love with my friends and compete.
