Reflections on this year

Shakespeare

          In the reader's theater our group is the Romeo and Juliet. In the play, I play the role of Romeo. Most of the roles of men were played by girls since we only had two boys. Before we even started the play however, we learned about the clothing, lifestyle, and the Globe Theater. Like they had square wooden plates instead of pottery circle plate. Also no plumbing at all.

Focus

          The first topic is the Peroidic Table. We learned about the different groups and divisions of the table and we were given several worksheets about it. Then each of  us got to pick one element and write a power point about it ( we do several power points and word documents this year). I picked Cobalt which is named after kobold which is German for goblin. The worst thing about focus is that people expect you to know everything. People walk up to us and tell us a question and  when we can't figure out the answer they say, I thought you were in focus. Just because we are in focus doesn't mean we know everything. Another topic is  several math activities. We started out with balances, then venn !, then finally hands on equations. We also had logic and analogies. Logic is so much better than analogies.

Farewell

I'm sad about leaving because once we leave here we won't be the top dog any more. We'll be the little kindergarteners again starting out at a new school. My little brothers will still stay here so I have a while to go before everyone is out of the Rock Springs Elementary. So bye to Rock Springs and hello to Creekland! That is the end of my blog for today as the reflections of everything that has happened in fifth grade focus.
