Fifth Grade Graduation Speeches

You! Yes, I’m talking to you. Do you like school? I know you shook your head and wrinkled your face“no”, How about grades? I used to hate grades and not care about them. In elementary school, I didn’t know what they were until fourth grade. I usually thought teachers checked our knowledge to test and ignore the number of mistakes we made as long as we learned from them. I’ll tell you what, it’s “NOTHING” like that, especially in middle school. Back then I didn’t care about retakes or bad grades, but then something shot me like a ray of sun into the person I am today.

First off I would like to congratulate everyone for making it this far. I would like to thank my classmates, my friends, and my family. I especially want to thank our teachers, for always supporting and encouraging us. If it weren’t for the people who support us daily, we would not be where we are today. I would like everyone to turn to their families, and teachers to thank them for all that they have done for us.

The first day of school as a freshman I was excited and nervous to go. Last year in eighth grade we were the big dogs in the school and now we are back to being the little newbies. I was thinking how will I find my classes, my locker, the office, where do I sit at lunch and will I make new friends. As for the seniors first day, I’ll be excited we are the big dogs in the school again. We already know where our classes are, who our teachers are, we are very calm about being back and excited to start their last year of high

The best thing that happened in school for the first day was when I realized I had at least one friend in every class I had. Even if I don’t end up sitting next to a friend in class, it was nice to know that I’d have someone to rely on for help. Another great thing that makes the year better is that in most of the classes, I’ve gotten to sit with friends.

Even though I was worried about having my friends in my class, I was even more worried about meeting my new teacher. Would she be like someone out of the Black Lagoon, or would she be exciting and fun like the Frizzle? I ended up with the Frizzle and learned a lot about science this year. We went on some wonderful field trips too like to the apple orchard and the park. We never had to take the school bus to outer space or inside the digestive tract of another student, but we learned about making new friends and finding the enjoyment in everything around

It felt weird sitting at a different school.. I did meet some of my old friends from last year, like Zander Jackson, but he was on the “red team.” It was also a bit weird to find out that Mrs. Smith was actually my neighbor!

Up next is the grade I'm currently in, which is eighth grade. This year was a really great year. I grew really close to my classmates, and I feel like I've been at St. Isabella since Kindergarten. My teacher, Mrs. Kuhr, is a really great and passionate teacher who I know wants everyone to succeed in high school and beyond. She is always on top of things and is a really easy and nice person and teacher to get along with. My favorite part of this year must have been our trip to Yosemite. The hikes and views were gorgeous, and I felt like I grew closer to my

It was the year we got to change classes every 45 minutes. This was a tough change for me and my classmates but I would say we handled it well. We learned about a ton of new things that I have never heard about. It really extended my knowledge of different things. This is the first year that we had to try out for sports and was a lot of fun when we brought the best in the school together to try and win a city county. We came close in Fifth grade basketball but fell short of our goal. In Science we learned about rocks and minerals and in Social studies about American History. In sixth grade was the first year I had Mrs. kelly and this where Mary Queen really takes off in a religious standpoint in the classroom. She taught us so many thing about our faith and how to build good character. We went to St. Patricks center and really learned about how people have it in our country. Not everybody had it as good as us. We learned about the bones in the human body and the dynasties in China. We learned a lot about English and Literature in Mrs. Ream’s class. Our home room was one of the best I've ever had and we had a good time. We won city County for baseball this year and was a great way to cap of my sixth grade year at

What I thought about first quarter? It was fun, I now sit here and realize and understand that it was my last one ever at Ross middle school. All the teachers are nice and when I get to high school, I'm going to miss the middle school a lot. If I could go back in time I would. My grades are pretty good for the most part lunch with my friends and everyone if loud but it is fun. When I was in 7th grade I was like omg i'm not going to make it in 8th grade, but it turns out it's pretty easy for the most part but some other people have different opinions. How is my year is going so far? So far it is great a made a few new friends and I'm really happy because that's what makes me motivated to come out of bed in the morning and go to school is my friends.

The Great Being saith and I quote: “Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom”.

The first day of school was slowly closing in and I still wasn't too sure about the new school. There were so many things different from my old one and I would be stuck in this new school till eight grade. I thought that my new classmates would not like me because I used to go to a public school.When I was at my old school I would hear so many rumors about people at private schools being extremely smart. This made me even more nervous and somehow a little intimidated.

That’s good. I know about the P.T. because when I was in Postal school they made us do P.T. with the AIT students, talk about getting smoked with the young kids. That’s good to hear that you have the highest average in your class, when I reclassed to 42A I made the list for Honor Grad right before the Unit deployed back in 2014. I wish you the best of luck on making Distinguish Honor Grad. I’ll keep you post on anything that’s going

I was thinking here lately about when I met you my freshman year and you have made the biggest impact on me and I can’t explain how blessed to have a great counselor, teacher and most of all a great bond that can never be broken. Freshman year was a alright year even though I was fourteen and not used too it but you made that better. The reason I am doing this is because I respect you and love you as a teacher but sometimes I may act like a little brat but that is okay because at the end of the day I do what I am supposed to do and you do the same you will always be appreciated by me, and everybody that you have helped over the years you have always done, you are a hard working women and you deserve everything you get.

I came into this high school believing I knew who I was, but little did I know there was a lot to discover about myself and over these 4 years I blossomed. My freshmen year was a plane white wall as I was beginning my journey in high school. My older sister who was a senior at the time and a friend from middle school helped me explore the school my first days. I began adapting to my schedule and the environment within classrooms getting along with my classmates and teachers. As days passed I began feeling comfortable not only in my academics, but socially as well. I grew distant from others, I grew closer to others, but throughout the process I began realizing that people will come and go and I needed to focus on my interests. I began joining clubs my sophomore year such as an art club and lacrosse. I felt welcomed and challenged at the same time because I had to balance academics and clubs. I learned time management and responsibility and several other important characteristics from my experiences motivating me to become more involved. My junior year was an eye opener as I realized the previous years were just a smooth ride through high school and now I have to face the challenges. It was my first year taking AP courses and I took U.S History and Calculus. History was no problem even though it’s my least favorite subject, it was an easy to understand course and I felt comfortable in the classroom. In the other hand, Calculus was the slap in the face of reality, a course

Grammar school, middle school, and most high schools share one thing in common; they offer the same basic history, math, English, science, and social science course. By the time high school comes around students have already learned the same things again but only this time it is harder and more in depth. College becomes a time that a student really begins to learn about what they want to do with the rest of their lives. When applying to college, applicants don’t apply to learn math, English, history, and science. They apply to learn just math, English, Art, Business, Biology, Chemistry, Criminal Justice and many others. By having a core curriculum, it takes away time that students have to learn deeply about their program of interest. However, if colleges and universities focused more on the curriculum of student’s majors, and less on the core curriculum, these students may have a better understanding of what they want and less chance of graduating late.
