5th graders still get excited about learning. This sense of humor will show up in classroom discussions (sometimes appropriate to the conversation, sometimes not- usually always school appropriate) and in their writing (which makes grading those long stories a little more interesting!). They get jokes easier and are just genuinely funny at this age. One of the best parts about teaching fifth grade is the students have a great sense of humor. This list is, of course, from my own experiences and you will always find that there are students who don’t fit in with the normal expectations or behavior. If you are new to teaching 5th grade or thinking about teaching 5th grade, here are my top ten things that I think every teacher should know about 5th graders. Teaching 5th graders does have its downsides (middle school attitudes at the end of the year is my least favorite), but the great parts far outweigh the negatives.
To me, 5th graders are the perfect age to make teaching enjoyable and make it challenging enough to keep it from getting boring. I have been a teacher for seven years now, and I would have to say without a doubt that my favorite grade to teach is 5th grade.
