When I had a class with my bestfriend, back in 6th grade by the way, we were in class answering a math question . It was based on Expressions ( which I am really good at by the way ) and my best friend wanted to work with me, ( Janella ) and we worked together because we always chose a table together with all of my other friends, so I digress, when Janella was working with me on a piece of paper, we all had to yell the answer at the same time, so some people got it right; and some people got it wrong. After 6th grade, I found 7th grade more exciting as to making websites, learning how to edit photos, and doing work together; I feel the same way about 6th grade as I do 7th grade but what changed about this year is that it’s more quiet, ( that’s for sure.) and we do work that is fun in some ways. I find it enjoyable to do presentations as a way to show how I express my self, I always see my friend in the hallways, lunch, beggining of school, break, and after school so I still get to spend time with her, I just wished she was in my class.
what made me enjoy school was 6th grade it was my favorite school year by far what was happening was my teacher Ms Grimm that made it special. how do I feel about school now I kinda feel the same way like nothing has changed. what could make school more enjoyable is more free time
A time where i loved school was when ONLY middle classes get to go. it was a water fight or something like that, I kinda forgot what it was called. The reason why i loved school so much at that time was because it was fun! I was with my friends! there were water and water guns! They had snacks ! I really enjoyed it a lot ! I would totally do it again.
The time I loved school was in 6th grade when I had the best teacher of all time she was a fun funny teacher and a best friend too. We would all get along and have a fun time around each other. Every morning we would stay outside to get fresh air and stop being tired. She was the best teacher I ever had all my school years we all would do our work in fun ways and get it done. This new school year doesn’t feel like last year because it isn’t as funny or fun like last year. I would want to stay in 6th grade thanks to her for being the best teacher ever. Also, everything changed since I started 7th grade it doesn’t feel the same or the same energy from last year. Nothing can compare to my 6th grade teacher she was the best and someone we could all trust about anything. I hope she would change to 7th grade because of her I actually try on my work and want the same memories from 6th grade.
The last week of school in 6th grade because we didn’t do work for the whole week. We did different activities all week like movie day and video game day in the same week. It was special because it was the first time I did not have to do work for the whole last week of school. I feel good because I hope I can do that again this school year because it was fun and I liked coming to school for the last week. school could be more enjoyable if we could do hands on work and no paper work because paper is boring and hand on work is better in my opinion.

What made you enjoy school during that time?
Answer: What made me enjoy school was the fact that all teacher’s try to make it fun but help us learn at the same time.
Answer: the person that made it fun in 6th grade was Mr Vasquez because he always new how to make us laugh and have fun while learning. I think this year in 7th grade, Mr Alexander will make it fun with all his dicecssions sorry if I spelled that wrong, but also make it help us learn the specific part of the animal we’ll be dicecting sorry if I spelled that wrong again.
How do you feel about school now
Answer: How I feel about school now since a lot has changed is that we’ll get more time to have fun and to enjoy each class.
Answer: Nothing has really changed so far except for the fact that we now switch classes and our lunch is different but still nothing has changed over the summer.
What could make school more enjoyable for you now?
Answer: I’m going to be real honest nothing can really make the school more enjoyable because it already is and the only thing that’s important is spending time with your friends, teachers, family events and learning education.
A time I really enjoyed school was 5th grade, from the teacher, Mrs, Moua, friends, and even fun projects throughout the whole year. I enjoyed school at that time because the friends in that class made it super good. The whole day we wouldn’t do work, at least not a whole lot. The thing that made that year the best was Mrs, Moua, Mrs, Moua tried making it fun the entire time while being kinda strict at the same time. I feel a lot better about that class even now because it was just overall amazing. I don’t feel the same because at the time I had that class I hated it I get it was my worst class but looking back at it, it was the best. nothing really has changed since, exact the teacher, she left this school after my final year with her. The only thing that could have made it more enjoyable would probably be more friends around. I loved how I had a lot of friends in the same class that year, this might help me enjoy school right now because I have most of that same friends in that class in Mr, Alexander’s class today.
A time I really liked school was in 5th grade. I liked my teacher because she was fun and one of the best I’ve had. I felt like I could be myself. I also had a decent amount of friends including my best friend since 4th grade. We did a lot of things together like completing our work, eating, sitting, and more. Even though I had more friends she would be the only one I hung out with because it made me feel the most comfortable. We would also get fun projects involving drawing, which I’m good at. I wouldn’t say I still feel the same way since I’m older now and I don’t see everything the same. I still like school but sometimes I feel like not going. Something that changed since then is my friend group. It went from being a duo to a trio with two different people. Something that could make school more enjoyable for me now is permission to eat in class since I’m always hungry during school hours. Before, I enjoyed having the ability to choose our own seats. This would help me enjoy school more because I would get to sit with my friends and feel more comfortable.
What made me enjoy school was back in 3rd grade because i had almost all of my friends in the same class as me and it was a really good school year.Also we did a lot of fun projects over the year for example we did a gummy bear bridge with sticks we used the gummy bears to make sure it stays in place. Therefore my friends made it special and now I feel like school isn’t the same way anymore because of the zones and it was just better with no zone for we can go to whatever zone you wanted to. But to make school more better they need to probably change the cafeteria food to something better like yogurt or maybe bring back the fries. In addition I would like to have more soccer balls and bouncy ones too.
A time I loved school was last year it was my first year here at this school and Mrs.Grimm was my teacher I had so much fun, there were projects like drawing a water cycle and coloring it in it is easier to learn when I am doing something hands-on. I still feel the same way I felt last year and I hope my opinion doesn’t change I hope we have a good school year because that would help me enjoy school more.
What made me enjoy school was T-K, or first grade, because I feel like we got to do more fun things, like when we were learning we got to watch some fun videos about it and we did some dancing but I didn’t really do some of the dances because I was so shy at the time. What made school special was my friends, I made only three friends at the time a they were also kinda shy so we got pretty close in two days. I remember playing in P.E together, playing tag on the playground and all stuff like that. How I feel about school now, I kinda don’t get the same energy the school used to have before they changed the school, before they changed the school there was lots of rooms where the teachers will take us and I liked that. What could make school more enjoyable for me now, is that they could not give us zones like before we didn’t have zones but all of a sudden we had zones when I was in 3rd grade. I feel like since it is our break time we should be able to free a little bit. I bet some people feel way but I understand if some people don’t but that’s what I think.
I have only being at Sheldon for 2 years this is my 3rd year in this school. But if I will choose 6th Grade the reason why I choose it its because. The teacher was very nice and kind she was also fun I’m talking about Mrs.Grimm. But also she is the only teacher that give us free time 😀 something that made it special is. The room 180 I miss that room for most of the class it’s bored but I like that room. But now in 7th Grade I think that a lot of stuff is changing or it’s gonna change like there’s no more free time. And also we get a lot of work but the teacher is kind of nice I can be on his class for ever with no problem. So no I don’t feel the same way as 6th Grade last year the first week was super fun but this 3 days are kind of bored. I think that something that can make school more enjoyable for me now is that the teacher give us less work. Because the works that he is giving us is easy but he give us a lot of work and he also don’t give free time. Even though we are bored or tired I don’t care how much time he give us of free time I just want that and that’s all I think.
It was in 5th grade by that time I was with all of my friends, it made me enjoy it because my best friend was there and that year we have a lot of fun, when we went outside it was so fun because when we play soccer or other sports there was enough people to play with. I feel like it is going to be fun this school year because, I know most of the people. I think this school year. It is going to be the same because we are going to rotate and I could still see my other friend in the other class, in lunch we could still talk, I think this school year it is going to be fun because most of my friend are in the same class as me, but I think we should do a recess for 6-8 grade or to go outside to play with the other class for 10 minutes. In 5th I love to go to recess because we could play soccer or chill for 10 minutes, I think they should let us outside to relax or chill for 10 minutes.

A time when I really liked school was in 6th grade. My teacher and the fun activities made that year special. I wasn’t here for the full year but I had a wonderful school time there. The class and I did drawings, AI generating, Chromebook work, and more.
I feel the same way I did in 6th grade here. Although the school year just started, I know this year will be great.
Lots of things have changed since 6th grade like the schedule, the teachers, and the work.
Something that could make school more enjoyable may be more recess or more activities everyone would like to do.
What made me enjoy school was in 6th grade. I liked 6th grade because of emon and Jessie they would yell and cuss at each other from across the room they would yell all the time cuss all the time and they wouldn’t listen. But once Mrs Grimm would get mad she would yell at them for fighting all the time she would send emon out the class room because of how he acted. But he was funny sometimes but most of the time he was annoying and loud but there was times where he would make the whole class laugh even Mrs Grimm bceasue of the way he would act like Jessie. Daniel and Jessie would get yelled by emon bc they were big and he would yell at Hayden because she was annoying he would yell at Mrs Grimm saying that the work wasn’t fair but there was times where he was really nice and quiet.
What made me enjoy school was Mrs.Wan he was the best Principal ever he was kind and caring he always found a way to fix a problem.The way it feels now isn’t the same because some of my friends are gone and some of my favorite teachers are too.what could make it more enjoyable is if there were no dedicated areas.one thing that helped the most was that we were aloud to listen to music on are computers and use any type of headphones we were also aloud to bring are own sport’s equipment.Now we can’t bring anything no equipment no candy can’t share even stay safe contracts.
