Do you remember your first week of fifth grade? I do. I had a good first week.  There were so many fun experiences. There are also so many things to look forward to in the year. Parties, and 5th grade privileges. This is what I am writing about in this blog post.

This past week I’ve enjoyed lots of things. One thing I’ve enjoyed this past week is the index card challenge.The index card challenge is where each table gets 100 index cards and we have to make the tallest tower we can. My table thought we should make it 18 inches or taller. We are probably not going to get this high, I thought to myself after our tower kept falling and falling. I was wrong, we succeeded, and made our tower 2 feet tall. Yay, I thought. I was helping build the tower while some of the people at my table folded index cards for the tower to stay sturdy. Another thing I’ve enjoyed this past week is sitting with my friends at lunch.These past years everyone had to sit at their class table. When I heard that the 5th graders could sit with whoever they want I got super excited. Me and my friends can finally sit next to each other and talk to each other at lunch. The last thing I liked this past week is the intro to the government. We learned all about the three branches. I enjoyed the intro to government because I learned a lot of cool things that I did not know before. This is so interesting I thought. These were the things I’ve enjoyed this past week. 

I’m looking forward to many things. One thing I am looking forward to this year is the Halloween party. When my teacher told us about it I had no idea what it would be like and I was like “There is a Halloween party this year?” to my friends. I am looking forward to the Halloween party because I like Halloween. Another thing I am looking forward to is fantasy book clubs. I am looking forward to fantasy book clubs because I like book clubs. I thought who is going to be in my book club? The last thing I am looking forward to this year is the volleyball game. The volleyball game is where the 5th graders play the teachers in volleyball. I am looking forward to the volleyball game because I am excited to play against the teachers. These are the things that I am looking forward to this year.                                                                                                                                               

In conclusion, I thought there were many fun things in the first week. There are also lots of things to look forward to in the year. I am very excited for the 5th grade activities. Did you do lots of fun 5th grade activities? I hope this makes you think about how fun your 5th grade was.
