Hey guys, I have started 5th grade and I'm really scared and nervous any suggestions?
olliebob olliebob

Don't be nervous! I moved in the fifth grade and basically every kid my age was a boy. At first I hated it, but ultimately I think it helped me make more friends and not just talk to girls. I would say, just be nice to everyone, and don't pay attention to those who aren't nice to you.

Hey, Its normal to be nervous, 5th grade is really fun! You can learn new things, have your own locker... In my 5th grade, you get to decorate the windows for halloween!

Don’t be nervous 😀 fifth grade is an awesome grade to be in! In fifth grade, I found it helpful to keep a planner, with all my extra curricular activities and homework in it. Good luck, and have a great year!

The teachers are there to help. Even though it's not "cool" you can still ask them questions! Don't mind the older kids, a lot of them are really nice! If you joke with them they will joke with you! And read! If something goes bad get into your favorite book! Hope this helps!

School's about to start (or already has started!) and NATgeo is on the move! We've been sharing tips and favorites!

Since the school year is beginning soon, I'd like to share some study tips. Try placing gummy bears on your homework after milestones in your studying. For example, after every paragraph in your reading, every problem in your math, etc. This uses food as an incentive, which always seems to help me. Try setting a timer. Instead of saying, I'll write 4 paragraphs of my essay today, try setting a timer for 30 min. during which you will write as much as you can. I find this helps me to get more done. Instead of just saying, I'm done, after 4 paragraphs, you might be forced to write more and still not feel too overwhelmed. Try studying with a partner. You can help each other with notes, and a buddy keeps you accountable so you can't put it off, which always helps me. I hope these tips and tricks helped and gave you some ideas for the new school year!

Hey guys, just did a truth or dare with one of my best friends, She made me try the most spiciest mixture ever! A bagel with jalapeno peppers, hot sauce, ketchup and a hint of pepper. Still trying to get the taste out of my mouth! Lol
olliebob olliebob

Ugh, I hate spicy food. I play this game with my little sister and her friends called What's In My Mouth? and they always give me cinnamon and peppers with like, mustard and jelly. It's DISGUSTING!
anajas1 anajas1

😅I love spicy food, but that sounds like to much, even for me...
