Highlights of this school year By: Kathryn & Mikayla
Lang. Arts- Everyone enjoyed reading multiple books with different reading groups. Making real, published books was an awesome project that everyone really liked working on. At the end of the year, we learned how to write business letters. We all wrote letters to Mrs. Pugh asking if she would download the apps we picked that we thought would be a good idea to put onto all of the school iPod’s.
Science- Our #1 favorite project in science for our class was making volcanoes that actually exploded. It was a challenge to come up with our own ways to create the volcanoes, then make them erupt. Everyone’s worked in different ways. Also, we made Biome presentations at the beginning of the year. We chose a biome to work with, then had to learn all of its aspects and present them.
Social Studies- The class was split into groups to make Egyptian board games. Everyone put their own touch on their game so none of them were the same. They were a different way to learn about Egypt that got us involved. In May, we could pair up with one other person to choose from a list of possible project topics. Emma and I made a model of Mt. Vesuvius and it’s neighboring city, Pompeii. We re-created the mountain and city along with a Prezi on the topic.
Math- This year I really improved in math. I learned a lot of new things that I will be able to use in Middle School. I really excelled in Factor Tables and in percentages. I caught on really quickly, which made it easy and fun.
*Best Memory of Our Class
I think the best memories of our class would have to be the random singing. The boys would just start singing a song while we were working on something and everyone would join in.
*What I Will Miss Most
I’ll miss all my friends being in one class with me. I’ll miss everyone, I think next year when we are all split up. We had a lot of fun together.
