I see grades as making me work harder. They make me work harder because I see what I did wrong and try to make it better. Grades help me see which subjects I need to work harder in. When I get bad grades I sometimes feel bad.

I see grades as 1s 2s 3s and 4s.I love when tests get passed out and I can see my grade! I usually always make sure my grade is good. I always show my family my grade good or bad. When I see my grade I try to improve it

I feel that grades are important. I personally like A, B, C, D, E, F because I know it more than the Proficient 1-2-3 grades. I like good grades because they lead to rewards like ice cream. I dislike bad grades because they lead to talks about studying more. Grades help me to understand what to do next time if I have a question.

Grades make me work harder because if I get a bad grade in one unit then the next unit I know to try harder .But grades aren’t good because it gets me in trouble and worries me. If there were no grades that would be bad because you would not know what you did wrong. So, for the most part grades are good!

Grades matter to me a ton because I need to get a good education to have a good life when I grow up. It is also fun for me to get good grades because I get rewarded by going out to Tokyo Joe’s or some other restaurant with my family if I get good grades. I like getting good grades.

I like grades and they are important to me. Grades help me study, and I know I will learn good study skills. I think grades are important, and people can start realizing people can work hard and take school work seriously.

I feel nervous because if I get a bad grade I probably will get grounded . Another reason I get nervous is because I might not get good grades. Sometimes I do get good grades and I like it because I know I can do it. Charlie.F

I see that grades as trying to tell us how we did on tests. Grades also helps us know how we did , and if we get something wrong , we can go back and fix it .

Evan said...

Grades are to show what level your at in learning. I like grades because I can see how much I improved since the last time I got grades. I like getting report cards home because sometimes I get money! My grades help me to study harder.

Trevor said...

I don’t think grades help me because if I am tired for a test and I get a bad grade the when I am taking my next test I am nervous that I will get another bad grade. If I get another bad grade from being nervous I don’t like that subject as much. I would rather learn something and then be graded on it. I would really like not to have grades.

Adam said...

To me grades are important because... If my grades are at a 2 or lower I need to work harder. It would be bad to not have grades because you wouldn’t know how your grades are. So I like grades!

Grades
And what They Mean To Me


I am not sure about grades. I think that it can sometimes be motivating to have grades, but on the other hand I think that sometimes you can be so worried about getting good grades that you don’t really learn. I like some types of grades more, though. For example, I like numbered grades because I can thoroughly understand them. Grades are O.K. I guess.

Grades really confuse me because I can’t figure them out. I wish they just gave you the grades at the end of the year. I wish grades were A, B ,C,D and F. But grades really matter to me because it helps me to know how I am doing in school.

Grades mean to me and my mom a better future for a better scholarship in college and a carrier in what I want to be when I grow up. In middle school math is harder to get an A or a 4 at twain because problems are harder, so you are pushed up in a grade, so my mom prepares me for new grades and harder problems. Grades to me are my future for my college degree. So my mom is and I are working on my grades.

Grades mean education to me. Grades mean a lot, they mean being smart, they mean getting exercise, and just being able to get a job. Education helps me to be able to succeed the rest of your life. Grades are everything to me. Grades are awesome!!!!!!!

Nolan said...

I like grades. They help me understand how I’m doing. I think grades are really good because without grades nobody knows how I’m doing . My family needs to know how I am doing so they can help me if I need it.

Patricia said...

I think grades are something special because you know how good you are in Math or S.S. or any of those subjects. Grades are important because you can see your future.

Caroline said...

Grades are important to me because I want a good job, and a nice house and I want to be successful .Also I like grades because they encourage me to try hard in school. I always have known grades as 1, 2, 3, and 4. That is what I like about grades.

Riley said...

How I feel about grades. I like grades because they tell me what level I am at and if I need to work harder in school. When I get good grade it makes me feel good.

Lucas said...

To me grades mean a good education and a lot of money in the future. Most people think grades measure how smart you are in a certain subject. But how I picture it is, "Hey! You’re going to have a good life and live it well. So an education is important to a good life." Who knows you can even get a Ferrari. But first go get a degree and get good grades if you can. :)

Taylor said...

The way I feel about grades are …….scared, exited and I usually get a headache thinking about it Grades are so important to me because they go on my permanent records.

Alex said...

To me grades mean a good future and a good education. But if you’re going to get big bucks like that you need good grades. So go and knock your self out and work hard in school!

Grades are very important to me because I would like to go to Colorado School of Mines. My cousin goes to this school. I also want to get a good job when I get older.. Kayla H.

Grades are motivating to me because if I get a bad grade in a subject it makes me works harder then I have been working. At the end of each year if I have good grades we get to go to an ice cream store called Magi Moos. Another benefit of getting good grades is an allowance for the rest of the year .That’s what grades mean to me! Alexa.w
