5th Grade Reflections

I learned how to do equivalent Fractions better, I learned about mixtures and solutions in science, and I learned how to remember the Solar System better.

I struggled in reading and getting my points, I also had a hard time in Math on the STAR Test, And I struggled on the STARR Test.

One of the things that surprised me was that Mr. Mac put us in a Cardboard tube and rolled us down a hill, Another thing that surprised me was when we got to touch the lab equipment in the Science lab, one more thing was when we made spicy hot crackers in Mrs. Owens class.

One of the things i was dissapointed in was that we didn’t get a field trip to the Science center in Tyler, Another thing was that my mom is a music teacher and i have to stay up at school until 5:30 sometimes. I will be very dissapointed that i have to leave 5th grade! 🙁

The American Civil War took place on April 12,1861 and lasted until May 9,1865, thats 4 Years 3 Weeks and 6 Days! It was a very rememberable time for the United States. Here are some facts that i bet you didn’t know about the Civil War.

1. One-third of the soldiers who fought for the Union Army were immigrants, and nearly one in 10 was African American.

2. Black Union soldiers refused their salaries for 18 months to protest being paid lower wages than white soldiers.

3. Harriet Tubman led a raid to free slaves during the Civil War.

4. Lincoln was shot at—and almost killed— nearly two years before he was assassinated.

6. General Ulysses S. Grant wasn’t the bloodiest general of the war—Robert E. Lee was.

7. Both before and during the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln pushed to send freed slaves abroad.

8. Robert E. Lee’s Virginia estate was confiscated by the Union and turned into a cemetery during the war.

Spring Break Is Over

Spring Break is over, but thats ok. Me and my family had a great time, we went camping with some friends in Arkansas at De Gray Lake Resort. We Rode bikes, went fishing and just chilled out at the campsite some of the time. A park ranger showed me and my friend the best way to start a fire. When we got home my dog was so excited to see us, She jumped  up with joy. This year Spring Break was probably the most fun i’ve had on any Spring Breaks. 🙂
