The first week of fifth grade has been hard and fun at the same time. There is lots of things that I enjoyed on the first week and there’s lots of things that I’m looking forward to.

This first week of fifth grade has been packed with activities and lessons. My favorite was the identity map because I really enjoy drawing and coloring and I love sharing my favorite things which is what identity maps are all about. I got to share about what’s on my identity map to the class and after I shared,and  lots of people made connections to things they also like or relate to. At first I thought why do all the little people I drew look like skinny potatoes? But in the end I fixed it and just erased the people I drew.

I also really enjoyed making my locker sign because I’m very creative and I also got to design and color it with whatever I wanted which was very fun. When we first made our locker signs I thought that mine wasn’t that good and that all the logos I drew just looked like plain circles with colors. But then I made a few changes to it and it looks way better now. My favorite part of making my locker sign was drawing all the logos for my favorite stores. The last thing I really enjoyed was choosing to sit wherever I wanted for lunch because my and most of my friends are all in separate classes. We all sat somewhere different so when we got to choose our spots it was so much fun. 

This year there’s a few exciting things coming up since it’s my last year in elementary school. The first thing I’m looking forward to is the volleyball game. I’m really excited for this because I LOVE playing volleyball and even though I don’t do it as a sport I’m very good at it and I think it’s going to be very fun. I’m also very excited for moving up because I’m  excited for middle school and I’m excited to see my friends that are in middle school. Also there’s lots of my friends that I haven’t been in their class ever so I’m hoping we get in the same house and have classes together.The last thing I’m very excited for is field day because field day is so much fun. You get to eat food and play lots of games with friends. 

Overall, there were lots of fun things in the first week of fifth grade and lots of things to look forward to. What was your favorite thing from fifth grade?
