Third Week of Fifth Grade

Fifth grade is finally here! I am having so much fun with my new teacher and new classmates. My teacher is new to my school and his name is Mr. Shore. He is definitely an ocean person and loves to sail. My new classmates are so much fun to be around. I have three new girls and two new boys in my class. Actually, one of the two new boys lives two streets down from me.Two of the girls in my class went to the other campus last year. Instead of raising his voice, my teacher plays the diggery-doo! That is an Australian instrument. When he is done playing the diggery-doo,everyone has to be quiet. Now that's what I call creativity! Mr. Shore has had many different jobs. One of his jobs was in Germany! One of Mr.Shore's talent's is playing the guitar and the saxophone.

There are many new things about my school--Not just the teachers and students! We have a great hot lunch program. It is so much better than our one last year. Why you ask? Because we have a new program--It's called Children's Choice. It has a better variety of healthier food, and instead of having to order a month before, we can order a day before! Last year, we had an unhealthy, disgusting,(except for the pizza) odd program. I love our new hot lunch!

Today was picture day and I think I did pretty good. I wore my hair in pigtails with a poof in the front. I wore my red school shirt and plaid skirt. I am the fourth tallest in my class. I used to be the tallest girl in my class for at least some time but it seems like I shrunk over the summer. For our class picture I was on the top row and a piece of hair was in my eye so I think when the picture comes I'll have a little bit of a watery eye; but I don't think you can really tell.

I love fifth grade and I can't wait to see what other surprises it has for me!
