Do you remember your first day of school? Well I sure do! It was filled with games, specials and fun. I can’t wait for the new adventures!

This past week I have learned many new things and I have had many new experiences as a fifth grader. One of my favorite things is getting fifth grade privileges and getting to sit next to whoever you want at lunch. It’s nice because you can switch up sitting next to the people you’re usually sitting with. Another thing I enjoyed was working on my identity map. An identity map was a project where we drew and wrote things down that represents yourself. Some of the stuff that I wrote down was Basketball and reading. These are two of my favorite hobbies. I always liked to draw since I was young but it was fun learning a new format you can draw in. My favorite lesson this year was the intro to the Government. I watched I’m just a bill over five times! I’m just a bill sitting on Capitol hill….We learned about the three branches and about how no role has too much power over another. I had so much fun for the first week and can’t wait for the rest of fifth grade.

This year I’m looking forward to field day because it’s one of the things that only fifth graders get to do. Some of the things you do are races and play sports. Also you get hotdogs and other snacks. Another thing I’m excited to do is learn more about the making of a Government and U.S. constitution because social studies is one of my favorite subjects. I started really liking social studies last year in Ms. Teets class specifically during the American revolution unit. We acted it out in some of the scenarios the colonists were in and then we did a report on the American Revolution. I’m excited to learn more about social studies and the U.S constitution. The last thing I’m looking forward to is doing capstone and getting it out of the way. I’m a bit nervous but I think that it will be fun, researching about a topic you’re interested in and doing a report on it.

In conclusion, I can’t wait for the rest of fifth grade. It has been so exciting as a fifth grader and I know there are going to be so much more fun memories. What were some of your favorite activities in fifth grade?
