  11. 5th grade writing • Some people might think grading people is good for them. It is bad for some people though because they act bad. Here are the problems I find with grading us many people would have bad behavior grades. They would fail from normal grades, and you would have to hold them back. To start, bad grades we have them already. Since they are a real problem so why should we make it worse. Instead we should work on helping them to make it worse. Instead we should work on helping them to come in early and work on their grades. Second, if we are going to fail give us a chance. So don’t grade us please. Last, we would get held back so again please give us a chance to bring our grades up. In conclusion, grading us is bad because it is bad behavior, bad normal grades, and hold them back. So please help us.

  13. 4th grade writing • I went to the Filton fair with my mom and my friend John. I love the Filton Fair. It has a lot of rides that are fun. First we went on the Ferris wheel. I could see everything from there, and we decided where to go next. We then went on a rocket ride. I almost got sick on that ride, but I managed to get off without any incidents. After that we wentona roller coaster ride. This roller coaster is one of the largest in the country. It was scary. It was the best ride. We decided to go on it twice! When we got off we went to get something to eat. I ate a sausage and peppers sandwich, spicy curly fries, and fried dough for dessert. YUM! The food is one of the best things at the fair. I bought lots of stuff, too.Ibought a key chain with a fuzzy on it, a poster of Ricky Martin, and I won lots of stuffed animals by hitting the bottles with a ball. I also won a big teddy bear when I tossed the rings on bottles. I was very lucky that day. I went home with lots of good stuff and I was stuffed.Wewent home about 9:00 p.m. I was tired and fell asleep in the car. It was a very good day at my favorite fair.

  14. 1st grade writing I walked home from school. The ice cream store had closed. I got gum from Latrice. That was my day.

  15. Middle Grades Writing The biggest change from elementary to the middle school is the way they do things and the classes. And the rules.Tobegan with, I think the most biggest change for me was coming to the middle school from elementary because in elementary school you only had one or two teachers and one class to go to. Now in middle school you have six teachers and six classes to go to one for each subject. And you have to change classes about every hour.Next, they way they do things here is different like you only got four pass to go to your personal things like going to the restroom, the office, getting a drink of water and in elementary school you can go do those things as many times you want with a teacher permission to do all those things.then, you got the rules the girl and boy cant sit together. And your dress code is different then elementary school. Then there the rule that you only got four minutes to get to your next class and if you do not make it there in four minutes you have to go to the tardy hall and I know it not fun there. But I have never been there so I really do not know what it is like.Inconclusion, those are my reason for my biggest change from elementary to middle school I hope you like what your read.
