I taught 6th grade for 6 years and have been in 5th for the
past 6 years. I enjoyed 6th grade because the curriculum is
interesting, the literature is great and the students are
independent. What I didn't like about it was the pre-teen
attitude, the first year of dating and all the problems that
come along with that. That being said... I LOVE 5th grade, and
wouldn't go any lower than 4th. It's a great grade to teach
for all the reasons listed above, except they're still young
(for the most part), still get excited when you read to them,
love doing science labs, will sing a silly song to remember
concepts and still listen to their teacher.
