“Hi Benjamin Boykin!” my classmates said. Benjamin Boykin is the Chairman of the Board of Legislators. Have you ever met him? I have! In this blog post, you will learn about my classmates and I talking to Benjamin Boykin and how the Legislative Branch organizes and holds their meetings. Two things I learned from the Legislative Branch of the country government was how they organized their meetings and how they held their meetings in the Conference room. For example, their meetings are so organized by their chair telling them if it’s yay or nay. Another example is, how their meetings are in the Conference room, the chair person makes sure everyone gets a chance to talk. Two exciting things I enjoyed about being the role of a legislator is being able to speak in the microphone and talking to Benjamin Boykin. I liked speaking into the microphone because we got to say what we thought about the subject we are debating about if vending machines should have candy and chips. Also I liked when we got to speak to Benjamin Boykin, because we got to take pictures and talk about the facts of the Legislators. It was very interesting. Now that you know all about what I did on my field trip and meeting Benjamin Boykin, Now maybe you can meet him too and learn a lot from him! It was a fun experience and you should go and enjoy it too! Would you go and meet him?

First Week of 5th Grade
You talk with your friends and you start to color. You write things down that you adore. You see your friend’s identity map. “It’s beautiful” you say. “I love yours too!” said your friend. You chat and chat with your friend and enjoy the time that you have together. This is one of the things I will share with you. In this blog post, you will learn about the 20 x 9 challenge and identity map. You will also learn about Challenge Course trip and a Halloween party, which I’m looking forward to.
Two things I enjoyed doing in the first week of school were doing my identity map and 20 x 9 challenge. The identity map was to draw a shape or make a zigzag line but inside of them you wrote something about yourself. For example I enjoyed doing the identity map because I got to express what I am. Another example is writing something in your identity map. I would recommend writing. I love my family, I enjoy hanging out with my friends and I enjoy reading. I did a heart and I wrote what I love inside of the heart and then I drew the background with zigzag lines but I didn’t write in it I used color pencils. Another thing I also enjoyed was the 20 x 9 challenge because I like challenges and I like working together with someone or in a group in math.
Two things I look forward to this year are Challenge Course Trip and the Halloween Party. The Challenge Course Trip is when you do courses with your classmates and you work together to get to the end of the course. The Halloween Party is when you dress up in your costume and all the 5th grade classes get together and play games and have snacks. For example I’m looking forward to the Challenge Course Trip because I would like to work with my classmates and help them reach the other side. Another example is I’m also looking forward to the Halloween Party because I think I would like to see others’ costumes and I like to compete against others.
