Middle School: The Great but Hard Place

By Freddie and Benjamin

Being in fourth grade is a full time responsibility, you are a role model for the Lower School. All of the other kids look up to you. Some fourth graders are excited for middle school because you get dessert sometimes and chocolate milk during lunch. Some are worried because there’s more homework.

10 people in Deborah and Jake’s class are excited for middle school, 2 are worried, and 2 feel differently. Jake, one of the teachers is excited for the fourth graders to go to middle school because he’s excited for the next step in the fourth graders lives.

To some people middle school is a whole different life.  People are literally doing everything different.  You do not have to walk with your class, you have to do homework over the weekend and things like that.

Middle school can be a big scary place, but if you like homework you’ve got no problem! So you should start to like homework and try your hardest.

In middle school it is like you are not the oldest and not the youngest so that means you have to work really hard but not to hard.  You also have to be ready to be only a big buddy and to get ready for the second stage in your life.
