BEEP BEEP. Your alarm clock goes off, you hit snooze until you realize it’s the first day of school! All of the sudden you get butterflies in your stomach because you’re nervous. You get dressed and get in the car, when you arrive at school you wish you just started summer. You get to class and your face is red. You’re so stressed it’s hard to even think! Until you just draw an identity map. You start to think it’s kind of fun. And at the end of the week…BEEP BEEP. you get right up,  you actually like it.

There were a lot of things we did for the first week of school, but there were three things that really made my first week of school the best it could be.  One of them was making an identity map. It was really fun and enjoyable to make. After making it, It made me more creative. My Identity map turned out so amazing. It took a few days but overall it was really cool. It  was fun expressing myself but on paper. We also did a few other projects, including a project called We Make a difference. This one was where we would have to pick a quote about a trait you have. Then you draw a portrait of yourself. I enjoyed it. It was cool seeing a bunch of different quotes from people. I thought the quotes were inspiring. The last thing that made me enjoy the first week of school was making our locker sign. The purpose of this is so you would know which locker is yours. It was fun to design and mine ended up really pretty.Also everyone would see our lockers so I thought it would be cool for them to know who I am and what I do.  All of this was really fun to do and It was a great way to start off my school year.

Now that I’m in 5th grade, and the oldest in school, things might be different this year. I’m looking forward to a lot of things this year. One of them is a fifth grade only Halloween party. I’m excited because we never had a school halloween party so I think it will be cool. We have Halloween at school but sometimes that’s not your real costume, so I think it will be fun for people to see my costume. Also it is just our grade! So I think it will be fun. Since we are in fifth grade, There is also a volleyball game with your teachers. I love sports so I think It will be really fun to play sports in school. I don’t play volleyball so it will be a new sport for me. It will be fun to try something new, and against your teachers! And lastly, I’m really looking forward to field day. It is one class against the other and you do a lot of competitive activities. Since we usually just do school work in school, it will be fun to play for once besides recess. At the end there are hot dogs! I think it will be super fun and delicious. With all of these fun activities, it makes me a lot more excited for 5th grade.

Overall, the first week of school wasn’t as bad as I thought. We did a lot of fun things, as mentioned previously the identity map, We Make a Difference and making a locker sign. And there is even more I’m looking forward to. My question for you is, did school go well for you? Do you like it? What are you looking forward to?
