October By: Seth

October was quite a different month from September in my opinion. Everybody is pretty close to being settled if not already settled in the flow of school. All the subjects are starting to pick up pace, which I like, because I like to work through things fast. I hope the year keeps getting better still as the year goes on.
In math I finished Pre-Algebra at the beginning of the month and I am very close to being done with Algebra. Math is really hard now as I start getting farther and farther. It is really fun now because I really have to work to get stuff done. My goal is to finish Algebra by the end of next week. I hope math keeps going the way it’s going because it’s really fun right now.
Spelling has certainly become more fun this month. We now have enrichment packets, which are more challenging and allow us to work at our own pace. This is really an improvement from what I thought of spelling last month. I thought spelling was going to be really slow pace but as the year goes on it gets harder and harder.
In social studies we finished up our Egypt Chapter, and took our final test. We have now started working on Mesopotamia, which I have never learned about, so it’s something new. We are writing compare and contrast stories of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and the Nile. So far, Social Studies has not disappointed.
Language Arts has been surprisingly fun this year compared to others. This year we get to read our own books, which was really a problem for me in the past, reading books I didn’t like. We also have started responding in our reading logs about things like our character’s flaw or the antagonist in our book. This is one of the only years I have really liked language arts
In Science we have been working and starting presenting our Best Biome project. We are pretty much trying to get Mrs. Fulfer to move to a different area in the world. This was really fun because we not only got to learn information about a certain biome but we got to use our imaginations to persuade Mrs. Fulfer to move. All in all, October has been really fun in all aspects of our school.
