Next year, I am going to middle school so the teachers would like to prepare my class mates and I by planning a trip for us at the middle school campus. It's super exciting because I have never changed campus before and now I am actually going to in a few months. Yeah! I will reflect on my experience at the 2 middle school campuses:)
1. What skills do middle school students need to be successful? (for example: focus, organization, etc). Think of 3 and explain how you know this.
1. Work Management. Work management is a essential element of being a middle school student because it's very important for the students to handle their work efficiently. Miss Hannah have discussed this with us because she really wants to practice these work management skills for us in fifth grade so we can get ready for sixth grade. In other words, we can also say this as organization.
2. Responsibility. Different from work management, responsibility can be a very hard trait for students. Being responsible isn't just being responsible for the work load you have but also being accountable for our actions. We will always be busy studying for tons of tests and exams. But sixth graders know what to do with the work load:)
3. Confidence. I believe that sixth graders really need confidence. With confidence, we can do anything since we have the power and the potential to do it. If you have confidence, we can present at assemblies, participate in class, ask questions, make new friends... Do you agree that we need confidence for sixth grade. If you don't, just leave me a comment below:)
2. What are the 3 pros and cons of both campuses?

3. What do you imagine your biggest challenge to be next year and what can you do to prepare yourself now?
Personally, I think that the biggest challenge for myself next year is to complete my homework. Other teachers and students have told me that in middle school, we have a teacher for every subject so we will get an abundance of homework from each of them and it's always due like the day next to tomorrow. I have to take dancing and piano classes after school every day so I guess it will probably be very challenging for me. To prepare myself for this big challenge, I will stop playing and watching non-sense games or videos and spend more time focusing on my work load. I am already stressed with this:(
4. What are some things you are doing in 5th grade now that you hope to continue doing in middle school?
Greeting the teachers. In this elementary campus, I am very used to greeting most of the teachers by saying " hello" and I think that it can be very challenging for me to do that at my new campus since I don't really know the teachers very well.
Blogging. Blogging is a very fun thing and it does helps me put all of my thoughts down when there's too much goin' on. It can be pretty challenging for me to update my webpage daily since there's going to be a ton of homework waiting for me at my new campus:(
Intramural. Intramural is a fun activity we do at my campus and so I wish that we are going to have them at my new campus too. It assist us in exercising and get our bodies movin' up. Playing different sports at recess is a very exciting thing to do and I do love it. If you like, I can tell you all the benefits of exercising. ( not now ).
5. What other questions do you still have about the middle school or middle school at Nha Be campus?
I am not so sure if I am going to be attending at this school anymore so I don't have really have any other wondering about the new campuses, just because I am so KNOWLEDGEABLE on it.
Thanks for reading:)
Love,
