Which grade is the best? Fifth grade, obviously! Fifth grade awesomeness, right? We’re nearing the end of the year, and fifth graders will be sad to leave. From a nerve-racking pod switch to a thrilling overnight trip at Naturebridge, fifth grade has been the best year ever!
We (Ysa and Adelina) got almost every fifth grader’s opinion on what they thought about this year. Most said that they loved fifth grade. 87 percent said they liked fifth grade. Here are the graphs that prove that we are NOT lying:
As you can see, 20 out of 23 people said that they love fifth grade!
On this graph, most people said that fifth grade is the best!
Even though graphs show fifth grade is the best, it doesn't mean that there isn’t drama.
As you may know, fifth grade has two pods. It used to be the Jellyfish (A pod) and the Sea Cucumbers (B pod). Now it's the Pandas (A pod) and the Puppies AKA the Pups (B pod). The two groups always fight about who is better (a joke, of course), but when the great pods switch unexpectedly (dun, dun, duuuuuun)...
This is how people felt about the dramatic pod change.
