Do you remember the first day of fifth grade? Were you excited, were you nervous, or even both? I’m so excited for the rest of fifth grade and all the events in it because there have already been so many cool activities so far, and it’s only the second week! I’m looking forward to seeing what we’re going to do the rest of the year.

Our first weeks of school have been doing a lot of fun projects like a self portrait and we looked for quotes on the internet and then put them together on a piece of paper and also an identity map which is things about ourselves and we draw them on paper and we made separate parts for them and then color them and tape it to the wall. My favorite was the index card challenge and we had to build a card tower. I was in table one and we might have lost but it was still very fun. At one point we were in the lead but then the bottom piece fell and then and then Elle tried to fix it but the whole thing fell down.In math we’ve been doing a lot of volume area length width and height so we are using rectangular prisms cubes and also composite figures . In social studies we’ve been learning about the three branches like the legislative branch, the judicial branch and the executive branch. 

In my grade I am looking forward to a lot of things, one thing I’m looking forward to is the halloween party because i get to hang out in my costume and play games. Another thing I’m looking forward to is the volleyball game because it’s probably fun to play sports against the teachers. I’m also looking forward to hot dog field day because I love hotdogs and I also love fields so it’s perfect and moving up is probably going to be fun because it’s my last day at heathcote and I’m going to middle school.

In conclusion we have done a lot of cool things and there will be many to come in my last year at Heathcote and then we are going to middle school. Specifically, I really enjoyed the self portrait and I’m really looking forward to the halloween party. What was your favorite thing you have done this year?
