Life in 5th Grade

So 5th grade has been an adventure so far. Its very different then 4th or 3rd grade. We have more classes and more homework. I like 5th grade so far we still have a late lunch but are classes fly by. All of the teacher are awesome too. We have more test and papers. The classes we have are reading,science,math,social studies, and l.arts. I think my favorite class is science. I cant wait to continue the year.

Math in 4th Grade

One of my strengths in math is multiplication. One of my weaknesses would have to be improper fractions with mixed numbers. My most favorite thing in math is measuring protractors. My least favorite part about math is division really any division, long division, regular division. Some new things that I learned in math was long division, simplifying fractions, protractors, kinds of angles, kind of triangles, and much more. I don’t really know what  to expect in 5th grade math. I know that it probably wont be the easiest thing in the world. I know that I will have a good math teacher but i’m just  nervous about 5th grade ingeneral. I cant wait to be a 5th grader.

Personal Narrative

When my family went to Arkansas we went caneing. But it was our first time. We got to the Caddo Lake and got all of the safety tips. But we did not know that we have to canoe 7 miles, and we thought it was going to be a piece of cake. But we canoed for 4 hours ,but we stopped on pebble island. My step mom’s and sister’s canoe flipped and everybody came running to help. Our canoe almost flipped too. But my strength saved us. So we kept on paddling and paddling until we got to the end. We got off and zoomed to the condo and took a power nap until we went to eat. So my family and I had a wonderful time in Arkansas and i cant wait to go back.

The Paradise Called Texas

In the book A Paradise Called Texas my favorite chapter was 20. I love when Papa awkwardly asked Lissete to marry him. I liked when Papa was cured thanks to all the kind people that helped him. Like the Shaman Chief Custiletta , and more. I also liked when Mina and Lissete come closer together and when Papa, Mina, and Lissete all came together as a family. Finally I like when Papa said Lissete I think it’s about time we get married.

 

In the book A Paradise Called Texas my favorite character was Mina. She was always by her parents side. She had long blonde locks or hair. She made new friends, and welcomed Lissete into their family. She was grateful when Amaya gave her a blue – beaded belt, And I like that I could picture her in my mind when I read A Paradise Called Texas book.
