Have you ever had to try and make a tower out of only index cards? Well, believe it or not, I have! Read my blog post to find out more about the favorite things I have done so far in fifth grade and things I am looking forward to doing this school year.

Two things I enjoyed doing my first week of school are the index Card challenge and the 20 by 9 challenge. For the Index card challenge we worked in groups to try and build the tallest sculpture in 15 minutes with 100 index cards. I enjoyed this because it was challenging but it was also fun rushing to build and not make it fall. For example our structure keeps falling down and we try to rebuild it in time before the time runs out and we did it we WON! Another thing I enjoyed was the 20 by 9 challenge. We tried to make the number 20 with only 6 numbers and they had to be the same.It was fun creating equations but sometimes there would be more than 6 digits so it made it challenging. For example, One equation is 5 + 5 + (5 + 5 =20).

Two things I’m looking forward to this year are the Heathcote volleyball game and the field trip to Boundless adventures. The volleyball game is were kids play a volleyball game against the teachers.I am excited for this because I think we have a chance of beating the teachers.For example there will be 1 5th grade class playing against about 8 teachers.Another thing I think I will like is the field trip boundless adventures. This is a ropes course where we will be challenged to do certain obstacles. I am excited for the obstacle course. We might even be able to do my favorite “ziplining”.For example, we will be in small groups trying to get across a rope together.

Overall the first week of school was amazing.I hope you get to do fun things like I did.I hope you have enjoyed reading blog posts and learning about what I am doing In fifth grade. I loved doing my project. If you got to do this what would you write about?
