What+I've+Learned...

By: Giggles In fifth grade I have learned a lot about life, school, and myself. I think this year I have learned more about all three things than any other year so far. Fifth grade has been the most fun and the most challenging too. I wish we would have gotten to do more Survivor stuff, but what we did get to do was fun.
 * __ What I’ve Learned… __**

One thing I learned about life is that life isn’t fair. I thought it wasn’t fair that some kids kept ruining our chances to play Survivor but then I remembered that life isn’t fair sometimes. Another thing I learned is that you always need to try your hardest in everything you do. If you do your best then you can never feel bad about not getting the best grade on a test that you could have. So long as you try your hardest then you can always be proud of yourself. The last important thing I learned about life is to always be honest. It is better to take responsibility for yourself than to lie about something. You will probably get caught lying and then you will be in even bigger trouble.

In school, I learned a lot about math. I learned about fractions, decimals, and geometry. Fractions were pretty cool. I think my favorite thing to learn about this year was technology. I loved being part of Tech Workshop. I had a lot fun making the movies and editing them. Science is one of my favorite classes. It was cool learning about the human body. Mr. Beutel always had awesome experiments!

What I learned about myself is that I needed to get more organized. I still have a little trouble with that, but I’m working on it. I think it helps me get better grades if I am organized. I think I had to work harder this year than any other year. I had a ton of homework every night. I learned that if I use my time more wisely I can get more done during the day and not have as much homework at night. I worked really hard to get good grades this year too. I got all A’s most of the year. I am really proud of myself for that. I think I am more confident about a lot of things. I am trying to be mature and make good decisions.

The thing I am most proud of this year is that I got really good grades all year. My hard work paid off and I got to be in the high achievers group. I think being in Mr. Meyer’s class has really gotten me ready for middle school. I am kind of nervous about going to middle school, but I think it will be cool.
