Starting middle school is a new chapter in my life. What I am expecting from my teacher Mrs.Lavender is for her to help me learn new things that will make me a better person. What I am expecting from my peers is to get to know them better and hopefully become friends.

Adriana said...

i am expecting knew knowledge and adven tures from my teachers. I am hoping and expecting my peers to become friends.

This year is really going to be different. A step up from elementary school feels spectacular. Of course we have the basics since kindergarten like, have manners and obey instructions the first time, but I have my own set of school year goals. So, I will have to be a role model for younger children and keep my grades up. Plus, I expect challenging questions and activities from our teachers.

Chloe Leftridge said...

I am expecting to learn everything I can and have the best experience in 6th grade from my teachers and my peers. I hope to become friends with all my classmates and other six graders.

My goals for this school year are to receive A’s in all of my classes, and be a leader not a follower. In addition, I am going to be a very nice person and become a whole new me.

Nasir Dowdell said...

My expectations from my teachers are to teach me everything that I need to know and to make learning fun. My expectations from my peers are to help me when I need it and to make new friends.The expectations that I have for myself is to enjoy this school year and to be an "A " honor roll student by doing my best.

Chloe Leftridge said...

i agree with you
Adriana. I am agree with yuo because i think that we are going to have a lot of knowledge and adventures when this school year is over.

Eshandae middle school is definity different than elementary school people are expecting more us now.

E'shandae Thomas said...

I agree Bria middle school is scary but you have to be willing to get used to it and have a reasonable goal so you won't get let down. :)

E'shandae Thomas said...

I think next week will be fun because Mr.B (band teacher) is making us do a performance in the band room in front of the whole class to our favorite song by our favorite performer.

_wish me luck_

I am expecting Mrs. Lavendar to teach me new things about the work we do in the 6th grade. I am expecting to learn more about my peers and their personalities. My goals for this middle school year is to make good grades and improve my knowledge for the future in the 7th grade.

Jalyn Robinson said...

Starting Middle school was very scary because I didn't know anybody except Lucas but I made new friends yesterday and the first day of school like Taylor,Chloe,oscar and Nasir and thats just the start. the only thing that im expecting is just a good education. This year is going to be harder because Im being taught pre Ap and at my old school they bascially didn't teach me anything I still dont know how to write in cursive, And for goodness sake Im in the sixth grade. so I know its gonna be hard so friend and classmates please help me out.

Rebecca Rubio said...

I'm actually very excited on starting middle school.I really like my teachers.Actually, I was expecting the teachers to be a little bit more strict.But they turned out really nice.From my peers I was expecting them to be as friendly as they already are, I'm hoping I can get to know and be friends with everyone.My goal is a little bit like Chloe's, to make straight A's.I hope everyone can achieve their goals this year.

Jordan Haggard said...

To me starting middle school at W.J.C was like a maze. The first day I did not know where to turn or what to do, but at the end of the day I solved that maze. It was all worth it. I liked W.J.C., the first day was hard getting to know people and opening my locker, but now I'm good and I'm going to go foward with the rest of the year. I think that my teachers expect me to be my best, and I'll try my hardest. I think my peers expect me to be respectful and helpful. I'll learn more and will not be disruptive or distractive.

Anonymous said...

i agree with you eshandae. I agree with you because even if we do already know the basics we still have to be the bigger person and challenge ourselves. My expectations are to challenge myself and when i do i'm hoping it will make me smarter and more outgoing than i was before.

Esme said...

I'm really excited about starting middle school! It's so much fun, I have great teachers and great classmates! I'm looking forward to a year of learning and fun! I expect to learn A LOT this year. It's fun knowing that we're not kids in Elementary school anymore, we're middle schoolers! Hope the rest of you are having as much fun as me! HAVE A GREAT SCHOOL YEAR!

Esme said...

I'm excited about the performance Mr.B's making us do also! I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!! I wish everyone luck!

Anonymous said...

i agree esme, although, i might get a little frightened even just standing in front of the class.

Arianna Jones 6C said...

Sixth grade should be adventurous for me.I expect that my teachers will prepare us bigger and better things. I was kind of scared on the 1st day of school because I thought I wasn't going to know anybody.

sidney b said...

I am happy and excited about starting middle school. It is different, but I like it. I am happy that our class is caring and a good bunch.

sidney b said...

I wish everyone a good school year like esme.
HAPPY MIDDLE SCHOOL EVERYONE. HAVE FUN AND MAKE FRIENDS. :)

every elementary grade is a different book but each year of middle school is one gigantic chapter book. You have look forward to something much more advanced.

I expect my teachers to sometimes be serious but sometimes make learning fun.

Cortez S.500 said...

Entering middle school is like a new chapter in my stories that I like to write in my spare time. I will have to think things through in my stories so they make complete sense,just like for my school work. My expectations for this year are to meet new people since the school didn't place me with my close friends from Princeton. I also plan to make straght A's or A's and B's.

Cortez S.500 said...

I agree with u Chloe

trinitygroves said...

L.Lavender said...

Thanks to all of you for responding so promptly to my question and the responses of your peers. I'm glad to hear that many of you are excited about middle school, and you are setting goals for yourself. The first three days of school were quite tiring for me after being off work for two months, but I think I'm getting back into the swing of things. You all are a great group of students, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the school year. I'm elated to know that so many of you think fondly of me "right now", and I hope you continue to feel this way after I have pushed you extremely hard to do your best. Remember to stay focused when blogging (stay on the topic of discussion). I'm looking forward to seeing all of you early Monday morning as you walk through my door with an OPTIMISTIC attitude!

Jalyn Robinson said...

Oh promise me I'll walk in in that classrom with an Optimist attitude ready to learn.

Destiny Reid said...

When I first started middle school I was terrified! I couldn't get my locker open (I still can't but I'm Trying), I thought the classes were going to be difficult, and I thought all the teachers were going to be mean. I expect my teachers to teach me everything I need to know and help me when I need it. I'm also expecting my peers to be friendly and outgoing. I know I'm Going to make a lot of friends and excel in all of my classes. My goals for this school year is to have many friends, work hard, and give everything my best without giving up. I love Middle School already. Especially music, Mrs.Lavender's Class, and Ms.Cammacks.

My teacher,Ms.Turner is very nice,and I have a feeling that we are going to be very, very organized and on top of things things this school year. Ms.Cammack, my math teacher,talks really fast so,I have to have my mind and hands ready for her class.For this school year(2011-2012),my goals are to make the A Honor Roll, study harder,and try my best.

Jaelyn Reese said...

Right now I am really scared to be starting middle school.I am expecting to learn better and new things from my teachers.From my peers I am expecting for them to set the example for us.

Jaelyn Reese said...

I agree with you Taylor Brown my goal is to get to know my peers also.

Jaelyn Reese said...

I agree with you eshandeathomas00. I really love sixth grade so far.

Kaneisha Rivers said...

Starting middle school is like getting more closer to the top of the mountain.I am expecting to learn in a more advance way.I am also expectg to learn about my peers. I hope they are very nice.

I think this year will be difficult but we will all get through it

Delvyn Johnson said...

This school year will be fantastic because you can meet new friends and also new teachers. My first week of school was awesome saw some new and old faces and today I still don't know who they are. My two days with Mrs. Lavender and all my teachers have been great.I think sixth grade is a combination of the past grades, and future grades(7th&8th). That's because sixth grade reviews and informs.

I agree with you Chloe but when you said whole new me do you mean changing yourself to fit in or what?"I am going to be a very nice person and become a whole new me."

Since we are in middle school people expect more from each and everyone of us.

Delvyn Johnson said...

Sixth grade is important because that we are being a role model for the elementary schoolers.

Nakiyah McCafferty said...

Last week on the first day of school I was very nervous and excited at the sametime. But I soon became very relaxed in my new enviroment. I am looking forward to the teachers to teach us all that they can to prepare us for the future and the road ahead.

Chloe Leftridge said...

Delvyn what I meant was that I was going to be a better person than
I was in 5th grade. Also that I would work harder in my classes and pay more attention in class, and etc. that is what I mean by "whole new me".

Arianna Jones 6C said...

W.J.Christian is Jalynn Charley in Mrs Cammack's homeroom class

Jennifer said...

This year is new and I expect a lot of things.

Tyler Tolbert said...

I agree with all of you. Starting middle school at WJC is exciting yet frightening. Sometimes I always thought about what kind of impression I was gonna make on the teacher. But once you get in custom to being around the teachers which we all love it will seem as if we've b there for many years. Good luck to my fellow classmates and friends that i will hopefully get to know. Have a great year.

Tyler Tolbert said...

EVERYONE WJ CHRISTIAN MEANS WILLIAM JAMES AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE DOES?

corian broner said...

I am excited about being in middle school. I'm hoping to continue to make the honor roll like I did in the grades before. I'm also excited about being able to play basketball when I get in the seventh grade.
