1. Have a good attitude. Did you know that you can actually trick your brain? If you say I'm so tired all day you brain will be tired or if you say this is going to be a really bad day then you are going to have a really bad day.

2. This one may be a little obvious but try to always get your work in early or on the due date.  Having to finish something up after the due date is going to put you behind on everything else until you get it finished.

3. Miss Davis is the best. She is the main reason as to why fifth grade was my favorite year so far. She has a LOT of crazy fun an goofy things planned for you. So put your seat belt because you are going to have a crazy but amazing last year at Swanson.

As of right now I don't know if your virtual learning or back at school but I do know either way Miss Davis is going to make this year the it can possibly be for every single on of you.]]> 2020-06-03 12:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/608805355 27duongj https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/608882614 When you have your first day at school you're probably like, "I'm so scared!" or "I'm afraid my make-up will get messed up and everyone will laugh at me!" But really, 5th grade will be the best year, even if you disagree or not. But if it is not, then here is some tips to help you along.

Number One: Success is a state of mind. If you want to be successful, then FEEL like you're going to be successful!

Number Two: If you need help, just ask Ms. Davis. You forgot your lunch? Ask Ms. Davis, and she'll help you out on just about anything.

Number Three: DON'T PICK YOUR NOSE. 

Number Four: Don't steal from the Candy Jar. Even though it is tempting, try to resist your urge to steal.

Number Five: If you have a crush, don't tell ANYBODY. Your secret will spread like a wildfire.

Number Six: Don't complain for 24 hours, not even a single bit and see how your life begins to change and differ.

Number Seven: Make Ms. Davis the proudest teacher in the world, like she said to us. Probably you can beat us!

I think you guys can do what it takes to make Ms. Davis the proudest teacher in the whole wide world. Even in this pandemic, I know you will have fun with Ms. Davis because she is honestly the best teacher in the whole wide world.]]> 2020-06-03 13:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/608882614 27grands https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/608951067 Fifth grade ahhhhhh you might think but no thats how I felt too but I realized fifth grade is like the other grades but the only diffrence is the teacher and the amount of learning.

Number 1: DON'T SPREAD RUMORS not only it's rude but the rumor will last a looooong time and even if people stop spreading oit one person always brings it up so DON'T SPREAD RUMORS!

Number 2: DON'T ALWAYS MAKE IT " boys vs girls" because this has been going for a loong time come on... try being friends with oppisite gender or be on a team with them, trust me it'll make you really famous in fifth grade it'll also help you.

Number 3: CHARGE YOUR CHROME BOOK, in fifth grade you'll need it A LOT, don't make the same mistake as me children NOW CHARGE IT OR ELSE........you won't get to use it.

Number 4: like james said DONT tell anybody who you like it spreads faster than wildfire and even if someone tells you who they like DONT TELL ANYONE, and there's nothing wrong with liking them as a friend.

number 5: MS.DAVIS IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER, MAKE HER PROUD TRY AND BEAT US HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Okay bye. Those are my tips to survive 5th grade.]]> 2020-06-03 14:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/608980723 27kima https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/609037940 5th grade. When I started the year, I was so worried. I had been at Swanson since kindergarten, and now I was on my last one. But you don't need to be afraid! 5th grade Team Enthusiasm is the perfect place to start maturing into teenagers. But you will be tested. For some reason there is always someone in 5th grade causing drama. It is NOT fun. What IS fun is recess, or read aloud, or scoot! but if you spread rumors you will miss out on these fun things. Ms. Davis is a very forgiving teacher, and a very forgiving person in general. She doesn't get very upset often, but rumors and causing drama is UNACCEPTABLE. 

But 5th grade is more then just rumors. In Team Enthusiasm, you need to do your absolute best to try to get assignments turned in on time. You also use technology more, and do digital assignments on a weekly bases. so you can work on them at home.  You need to try and get them in on time. but if you can't, don't lie or make excuses, just finish it, get it to ms. Davis, and make sure you don't do it again.

That's the basics. But remember. you can do this. You don't need to be nervous. Ms. Davis is one of those teachers that don't feel like teachers, they feel like good friends who you can talk about anything with, and you trust. And by the end of the year, you will love her like we do. She really is the best teacher.💕

Good luck! 😉😁]]> 2020-06-03 14:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/609044386 27fralel https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/611111007 AVOID DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!]]> 2020-06-04 14:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/611111007 27janetg https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/611181560 Hi! 5th grade can be rally surprising if you don't know what your up against. So I'm here to share with you a few tips and tricks, cause why not! 

#1: Make friends! Having friends in pretty much every grade of school is a must. You can make friends by being kind, and sharing some of your favorite things or by just talking to different people! But also, you have to make sure your friends aren't just your friend so you can help them with all of their problems. Pretend you and one of your friends each have their own pile of stuff. Sometimes friends will shove all of there problems onto you, and make you feel like your responsible for them and that you have to be the one to take care of them! If something falls out of there pile, you can help by making sure it's put back into there pile. But you can't let your friend shove there pile onto yours. You are responsible for your own pile of problems.

#2: Don't be a bully, and DON'T SPREAD RUMORS! I'm pretty sure by now you know what bullying is. Bullying is when you are hurting and attacking people, physically, like punching or kicking, or mentally, like judging others, teasing them, and talking behind there back! Normally bully's have a reason why they are doing all that mean stuff, bout sometimes thy just flat out want to hurt people. Spreading rumors can also be considered bullying, like if you are spreading horrible rumors about someone. Don't end up as a bully. ]]> 2020-06-04 14:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/611181560 27hais https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/611231938 Alright. So 5th grade sounds overwhelming, so what? Make the most of 5th grade because time flies and all of a sudden - it's June and the year is over. Moments come and go, so you need to hold on as tightly as you can to them while you still have the chance. 
Also, if something really not that great happens, have a 'who cares' attitude. If someone is mean to you or something like that, show them that you don't care that they're mean to you and just live your live and most importantly, stay HAPPY! If you're happy, it makes all the difference.
Moving on, make sure you surround yourself with people you can trust. You have to be very careful when choosing your friends, because if they aren't trustworthy, they will betray you and then you feel all empty and sad inside.
Next, avoid things that are not your problem. If it has nothing to do with you, stay out of it.
Other thing: always get your work done early. If you finish everything early, then you don't have to worry about anything. Like for Ms. Davis's letters, try to finish those in the first week or too. And keep track of your assignments and due dates. If you are virtually learning, then make a schedule for yourself and don't get distracted.
Lastly, chill. It's only 5th grade, there's nothing to worry about. The people in 5th grade are forgiving and if you do something wrong, it's alright. And I think it pleases teachers when you go above and beyond, I'm not sure, but if you're that kind of person, go for it, don't hold back, take risks. If you spend your whole life hiding in a whole, you're never going to know what you're capable of.
So that's all I have to say, I hope you people enjoy 5th grade and I hope these tips helped you.]]> 2020-06-04 15:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/611231938 27stanla https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/619424659 (Because it's fun)

1. If you don't like someone just avoid them.  Don't pretend to be their friend or try to get them in trouble for something because that will cause drama. It's okay not to like someone That is completely normal

2. Be yourself.  This includes everything that has to do with you.  Your clothing style, your drawing style, the way you talk and act,  If you see someone who you think has a really great clothing style be inspired by them but don't try to copy them.  this will go throughout the rest of you life at jobs, college, high school, everything

3.  Don't over-think.  I did this a lot during my fifth grade year  but when I just did it without thinking it was really easy.  If there is a math question where you have to do a lot of stuff and there is a lot of numbers don't be like oh my goodness this is way to hard I can't do this  just Jump in do your best.

4. Surround yourself with friends.  If you surround yourself with fake friends or people you don't like you are going to have a bad year If you make a few really close friends just hang out with them that will make your fifth grade year so so much better.]]> 2020-06-09 18:59:34 UTC https://padlet.com/daviskr/4tekb84fwxrkxxl6/wish/619424659
