Fifth graders may be experiencing bodily changes and rapid growth spurts, which cause periods of frustration and anger. They generally are interested in and enthusiastic about places and problems in the news and want to know what caused these problems, where they occurred, and the reasons for them.

This means:

Fifth-graders appear to grow before your eyes, mentally as well as physically. Many are on the verge of abstract thought.

Mental leaps and shifts in humor change their classroom behavior.

School is considerably more demanding, and students will have homework in several subjects.

Their hammy natures make playacting and poetry recitations delightful.

Honor and fair play are high this year. This stems from their budding social conscience, so teachers who play favorites are in for trouble.

They are pulling away from parents and teachers, so friends are more important.
