The First Weeks of School!

Do you remember the first week of fifth grade? Well I sure do! There were so many amazing, fun experiences and so many more in the future!

Some things I’ve liked in 5th grade this past week is my identity map project and getting to draw and write down stuff that I like to do and about my family and where I was born that was very cool. While I was working on my identity map I said to myself, “Why did I draw my dog like a cat?!” Last year I did something like an identity map and it was super fun but this year I made it a little different and with more details. I also loved music with the new teacher Ms. Accola. It was fun learning new songs, getting to know her and playing music with her. While I was at music I started thinking wow Ms. Accola is super nice! I also loved when we got to pick our seats because we were the only ones in the school who got that privilege to pick our own seats. Even though sitting wherever we wanted was very chaotic, it was very nice so we could sit with people who weren’t in our classes and get a chance to talk to them.

Something that I am looking forward to doing this year is the Fifth Grade Halloween Party. When I figured out that I was having one I said, “What is the 5th grade halloween party?” I don’t know much about it but I’m excited to dress up with my friends and have lots and lots of fun. I’m also very excited for curling with Mr. Borgia because we have curled before but it was in the gym and now it’s for a field trip and on real ice which sound like would be a lot more fun! My brother went curling on the ice two years ago with Mr. Borgia and I got super jealous but now I get to go and I’m super excited! The last thing is that I’m also excited for poetry because poetry is my favorite type of writing. I love writing poems and making stuff rhyme and writing crazy and funny stuff.

Overall, the first week of school was super amazing and fun. I’m looking forward to this year a lot too for my graduation cause we get to miss school and for the halloween party to eat too much candy! Did you have a good time your first week of 5th grade cause I know I did!

Essay

 

Everyone has a best friend. Best friends are special to our lives because they are the people we can share secrets with, enjoy spending time with and will always be there when you need them. You might be thinking, “are best friends really that important? What about family?” Family is just as special but the difference is you get to pick your best friend! You select the person or people that you want in your life, you can’t do that with family. 

 

One reason that everyone should appreciate their best friend is because they are the one person you can truly share secrets with. I have a best friend named Eva, I tell her everything! One time I told her something that I didn’t want anyone to know. When someone else asked her about it she responded with, “that’s none of your business.” That is a true friend that you can trust. People like Eva should be appreciated all the time for keeping our secrets safe. 

 

Another reason everyone should appreciate their best friend is because they are fun to be around and people we want to have in our life. For example, whenever I am with Eva we always have a great time! We laugh, we play and we have inside jokes together. Best friends are there to have fun with us and they are people that we chose to have in our life. 

 

The last reason is that best friends will always be there for you when you most need them. They keep us company when we are sad and celebrate us when we are happy. You might be wondering, “well my mom can keep me company when I’m sad? Why does my best friend have to?” The truth is, we might not always want to share things with our parents. For example, your mom says, “Go do your chores!” I would not go to my mom and talk about it with her. I would need to vent to someone else. I would go and talk about it to my best friend and tell her how my mom is being so annoying and how I don’t want to do my chores. Best friends will always be there when you need them most.

 

Do you have a best friend? Well if you do, hold on tight and don’t lose them because best friends will always be an important and special part of your life. And if you’re lucky like me, you’ll get a friend like Eva! 

Reflection

I choose the topic everyone should appreciate their best friends because best friends don’t get appreciated often when they do a lot for you every day. One thing I enjoyed was getting to express what my best friend (Eva) does everyday for me and how good I feel inside when she does it. Lastly one thing that was difficult to write was my introduction because all I could think about was what to write for my reasons so I had to keep thinking how i would or could start of my story with an introduction but what was hard about that was their were so many ways or options that I could start off my story.

My Expert Book: Babysitting

I came up with this idea because I have been babysat my whole life and I thought that from the experience that I see my nanny doing every single day I had already learned from that until I started babysitting for a family and got even more experience. The process was a little bit hard for me because I had to come up with a lot of ideas and I was starting to run out. I think with the chapters after I knew what they were about I got a hang of it and was able to do it easily. The organizing got a little challenging because I did not really know what to put where and started getting a little bit confused. I think my favorite part was the third chapter because, it was really good and I thought a lot of people got inspired by it even though it was the shortest. I feel really good with the final product of my story, I think it was my longest and best story I have wrote in my whole entire life. 

This is my expert book.


Thanks you for reading.
