I never thought I would get to fifth grade in my life. But the time came and it’s been the first week. It feels a little weird knowing that you’re the leader of your school and soon enough you will be in a new school. But besides that I hope you had a great first week of fifth grade. And I will show you what mine was.

This past week I have done many new things as a fifth grader and look forward to the things to come. One of the things I did this past week was complete my Identity Map. This was fun because In school you learn about subjects and this was about my life. For example, in fourth Grade we made a self portrait based on the book We are all Wonder’s. “I looked at other people’s Identity maps and thought mine was a piece of garbage.” This made me focus more and made mine very good. “This improved my drawing skills and that’s why I did well in the Identity map.” I said. Another thing that I enjoyed was making the We Make a Difference Project. But there was one problem. “It looked like my hairline was pushed back to the 1982 Ninja Turtle series.” Then later I succeeded and thought this project was really fun. This was because you get to make a self portrait of yourself and then find a quote on the Internet. I chose one by Michael Jordan which I thought was cool. One last thing is playing Wall Ball in PE. I liked playing this game because it involved the whole class, and it involved throwing a ball which I’m good at because I play baseball. For example, When Josh threw the ball at the wall It rolled all the way to the end of the black top. I ran after the ball even though It was going to be a hard throw but I knew I could make the throw because I play baseball. I picked up the ball and I threw It as far as I could and It barely touched the wall. These are just a couple experiences that have happened to me so far and more to come. 

There are a few things that I am most excited this year as a fifth grader

One thing that I look forward to is having a Field Day. This is because it is a privilege as a fifth grader and the whole day you’re playing games instead of doing work. Another thing that I look forward to is the Halloween party. I look forward to the Halloween party because I’ve been to Halloween parties before and they were really fun. This is because you go to the school late at night and you get candy. The last thing that I look forward to this year is the Solar System and stars project. I chose this because It’s cool learning things that are beyond our planet. I look forward to this because one time I learned about the lunar and solar new year. This inspired me to have more interest In our Solar System.

In conclusion, the first week of fifth grade wasn’t that bad and there are a lot of things to look forward to. For example the time we have our halloween party to the day we graduate. What do you look forward to in fifth grade?
