Have you ever wondered what a 5th graders first week looks like? Or what they are looking forward to the most?  In this blog you will see a 5th grader’s perspective, and also what they are looking forward to. Hope you enjoy!

This past week I have done many new things as a 5th grader. One thing that I have done as a 5th grader is read home of the brave. I picked Home Of The Brave because it is a poem in a book and I like the story and where it takes place. One time when my class was doing a read aloud and I was having a lot of fun and usually I don’t but I liked it. The second thing that I have done this year is the index card challenge. An index card challenge is where you have 100 index cards and you have to make the tallest tower in the time span of 15 minutes. When I was doing it Josh, Talia, and the rest of my table were talking about a strategy. I felt really into it. When we started getting the tower really high I said in my head. “please god do not let this tower fall or else”.and when we built the tower we all felt like we did something and had a lot of fun.  The index card challenge was a lot of fun because it was a competition and I am very competitive. My table and I got as high as two rulers standing up. Two rulers standing up was enough to win. The last thing that I will be sharing about what I did the first week of school is sitting with my friends at lunch. I choose this because not all schools get to sit with their friends at lunch. The thing is that only 5th graders get to do it and we have to earn it. I have enjoyed sitting with my friends because my table when sitting with my class is far away and I can’t talk to my friends from there. Also I have not been In class with them so I never get to talk with some of them. One time when I was talking with my friends they told me to chug my water.  I did it and I thought Stupid! Why did I do that?  After my friend Josh squeezed the water and got all over my clothes but I kept chugging. OMG, HOW STUPID CAN BE!!!  Then Theo, my friend, squeezed it again and I was soaking wet. 

Here are a few things that I am most excited for this year as a 5th grader.

The first thing that I am looking forward to is the staff volleyball game. I am excited for it because I have looked at 5th graders doing it. From that day I have always wanted to do it. I am excited to also play with my friends. The second thing that I am most excited for is doing journalism this year. I picked this because I have always wanted to write something like a sports analyst,but I never got the chance to and now I do. The last thing that I am most excited for is curling with Mr. Borgia. The reason is because my grade and I have never done a physical field trip and now we finally get to.

Overall, you have learned what a 5th grader is looking forward to. You have also learned what it is like to be a 5th grader during the week of school. What would you be looking forward to the most as a 5th grader at Heathcote? Hope you enjoyed my blog post!!!
