Talia's Year Reflection

                                                                 Talia's Year Reflection



My year in grade 5

Grade five was a real adventure for me because I  got to know people better. I got to look back at my past to see how much I  have grown from education to Responsibilities to friendships. At the start I feel't fifth  grade was a another chapter very scared to start but that fear has out grown me fifth grade is like a pod of dolphins all together in everything on the same pages in math, writing,  science and even social studies. But at the end we are all different people getting to know each other better and better each day. These responsibilities did not just help me as a person but as a learner. Each day my brain gets bigger and bigger learning something new from the library to my class to guidance to art  and even music. Fifth grade has provided me many things to prepare for a new whole different book and to begin a whole different chapter .fifth grade is a big role and being a fifth grader is a big role. So if anyone wants to ask me how my year has gown it has gone it has gone very well and not only because I am taller then my mom now but because I am finally done with my adventure..... Elementary school .




                                                  Reading

 I really enjoyed  read aloud's in reading this year I thought it was better then reading to myself so I could also jot while the read aloud is still going on because I love the story's in read aloud because there is always a way to get sad without stoping the book and ruining the moment or even to be excited without loosing you're page in the book.  But As a reader I think I have improved a lot as a reader I remember the first time I read it got very hard for me getting better in baby steps reading a book got easier and easier I have learned practice makes better. My reading map test  has also got better then the beginning of the year. Reading is very fun for me.   


                                                    Writing 

In writing I enjoyed the unit poetry and also writing fantasy story's  I thought it was exciting making story's and writing poetry by rhyming because I love writing poetry and making story's full of things that don't exist.I love writing units this year. 
                                                     

                                                       Math
This was my fifth year doing Eureka math.I thought math was very easy and having to do it step by step helped me a  lot visualize it without doing it all in one day and start and whole different day because visualize it without doing it all in one day and start and whole different day. I enjoyed adding fractions with a whole number I thought simplifying was a challenge for me because I did not really got how too. I know I am really good at adding fractions with a whole number. And I know i need more practice on calculation so I don't make a small error. 



                                                      Science

I thought science was ok because there was some confusing classes. I enjoyed doing Biomes and Adaptations.  I liked the big projects we would do in science and being creative is really fun.


                                                    
                                                  
                                                    Social Studies 

I thought social studies was fun because the columbian exchange   because it was really exciting.I enjoyed watching how the our past life was much different. Because it would show the life of the Aztecs. I thought it was really fun as a unit and i would reflect on it in middle school probably.



                                           
                                              Citizenship - Core Values 
This was my fourth year learning about the year the core values. I think it was very important I think the core values have a big role at CAC.   







                                                      Most challenging

In grade five I think most challenging thing we did of all was the tests because if you forgot something you will do bad at that section witch is mostly math. it is really hard to try to get a good score if you goof of and talk in class.   









                                                           most enjoyable
In grade five I think most enjoyable thing we did of all was kids day because if you would get wet and have fun with friends and run and jump. My favorite activity was the sponge fight because you get extra wet.








                                                             Most proud of 
This year I am proud of my independence because I have grown from the beginning  of the year.








                                                       When I think  about Middle school 

I see a big school and me as a unique person waiting for an adventure but I  know I must try hard.
