Okay! I am super excited because I still remember from kindergarten the first day, walking into school and everything new surrounding me. The youngest kids in the school. Now I’m in 5th grade! The oldest kids in school! I still can’t believe it! Although my years at Heathcote have been awesome, there were a few bumps. What am I saying, A LOT of bumps. Specifically speaking the last year. Those 18 months. Covid came into my life without warning. All of a sudden, lock downs, sicknesses, hospitals filling up, masks, but most of all… ONLINE SCHOOL! I was only in 3rd Grade at the time so going from in person school with everything normal, to online school with online zooms, online assignments, online specials. It was a lot! Everyone thought it would stop in just a week or 2. NOPE! After 2 years from then Covid is still here.

About 18 months ago was the real challenge. Hybrid school is annoying because we had to do specials on zoom at 9:30 or so. Then in the afternoon I had to eat a quick lunch and then rush to school. Finally when we heard the news that school was starting all in person again I was so happy! But I was so annoyed that we had to wear masks the whole day and we had to eat lunch at our seats and we couldn’t talk to friends. At least we got to watch movies and have mask breaks!

Now that I am in 5th grade I feel so much older than everyone and I’m also excited because we get more privilege’s and we are going to be doing crazy activities! I still don’t know a lot about what a capstone is but I think it will be fun! A lot of people are excited for it. I am hoping that we will be able to have the 5th grade vs teachers volley ball this year! If we are the students will win! I thin 5th grade will be fun and probably a memorable year! Stay safe! Bye!
