Our Bright Night

We went to the store

And got more and more

and just when I thought we were going home
we went to another and got even more!
When we got home
we went to the backyard
immediately set up
we’re going to have fun!
Around dinner time,
we had a fire going
to keep us warm
Then we shot one off!
It was beautiful yet loud
but we would do anything
to rattle the crowd.
The more we shot off
the more we realized
we have to save some for midnight!
When midnight came,
the biggest one yet
Yelling happy New Year!
knowing we had a bright one

Conquering The Yeti

It was all going so fast and it was just the beginning. I was so scared, maybe even petrified! I tried to open my eyes, but they wouldn’t budge!

 

Waiting in line for that ride was so hard! People laughing, screaming even playing games! I decided to relax and not think about the ride. We got up to the top and there were people everywhere! I could see the ride from where I was standing. Finally we got up to the gates. I pulled my mom down to my level and whispered “ Do we have to do this?” She didn’t reply just smiled. “Maybe after this we’ll do Rockin’ Rollercoaster! “Yea maybe,” I said under my breath.

 

Then we were next.
My heart was pounding, my brain thinking, I was out of control. It was our turn and I almost couldn’t breathe. We stepped in the cart, put our things in the basket and buckled up. Dad was chuckling, Mom was smiling and I was smiling too, but crying inside.

 

Then he did it! I can’t believe he pressed go! We started. In the beginning, it was like a mini ride. Then we went up, up, up.

 

Finally, we approached the top and went down, around, and all over! Then we stopped went backwards, and I wasn’t so scared anymore.

 

When we got off I realized that I went on Expedition Everest and conquered the Yeti! Fears are like monsters. You can conquer them but the story will live on with you forever. Face your fears and live life to the fullest!

5th Grade Reflection

This year I’ve learned a lot! But, if I had to choose one of my favorite things out of every class, they would be these. Social Studies would be Revolutionary War project. Science would be the  friction experiment. Reading would have to be the book fair I did. Math has to be all the PBL projects we did. I loved 5th grade and I can’t wait for 6th grade to come. 

So Long 5th Grade

1.  The most important thing I learned this year was Don’t let girl drama get you down.

2. My favorite project was the book fair.

3.I was most surprised by how well I did in math.

4.The thing I disliked the most in 5th grade was girl drama.

GS Project Reflection

This past week we have been working on Google search videos. I think my classmates treated us  fairly and judged me the way we did our project.  I thought it was a great experience to get to se everybody’s projects and what they thought of their project. I loved getting together with Rebekah and Amy and working on our project every Tuesday. 🙂

Attagirl!

In 1931 boys prohibited girls to play baseball. Hazel tried to play but Timmy and his friends said no! One day Hazel and Timmy went to a baseball game to see the first ever girl pitcher, Jackie Mitchell. Hazel is sure Jackie would blow them away! Timmy on the  other hand, thought she would make a fool of herself. They made an agreement.is Jackie stripes three outs Hazel  can Play baseball with the boys! If not, no baseball. They was up first! Here’s the wound up and the pitch, it’s a ball! The next picth STRIKE! STRIKE two STRIKE three batter out! Babe left the mound very disappointed. Up next Mr. Lou Gehrig! Strike one Strike two Strike three! Batter out! Lou left he field with more dignity than Babe Ruth. Next batter, one two three out! Looks like Hazel can play  baseball after all!

Taxes With The Class

When we did an activity on taxes, it visualized what was going on in the 1700’s. Every time the king said something the colonists had they had to pay a certain amount of money (or green mints). I learned that it was not fair for the colonists to pay money because they had something. It is very unfair to have to do something like that and not get to choose to pay or not.
