5th Grade moments of 2009-2010!!
By: KK
Favorite Moments
Your year in fifth grade will be a fun and challenging at the same time! If there is one thing you need to know there are a lot of expectations in fifth grade. You will also have some challenges as you excel through your 5th grade year. It will take some time to figure out fifth grade. You will have great opportunities to socialize with your friends and other students in the classroom. There are a lot of favored events in fifth grade that 1st through 4th do not get to do. You will read more about these events below in my essay.
Fort Snelling was one great learning experience. I liked it because I felt like I was a fur trapper back in the old days. My favorite part was when we saw the armed forces shoot their muskets. They took a long time to reload it and it was very inaccurate. Then when we got to go to the Doctors Office and see a doctor show what would happen to people that were injured on a local classmate. My other favorite part was when we saw the Blacksmith make a nail for Mr. McCartney. My second Favorite Moment of fifth grade was when we got to go on a nature walk and study plants and Fungi. It was really fun Identifying the different types of plants and moss, and how crazy are guide was seeing the slightest bit of moss he would yell out “this is very common Moss in Minnesota.” Then my 3rd Favorite moment was the all too AWESOME Dance off Between Mr. McCartney and Mr. Kuehn!!! It was my favorite because they hung a poster in our room and in the lunch room it was crazy! But I was hoping to see the razor come out and Play though… Ugh I hope it happens Next year though!
Survival Tips
Here Are 3 facts to survive 5th grade with Mr. McCartney and 5th grade. Rule number 3 never forget to do your homework. If you get more than 5 Lates during fourth quarter you will not get to participate in the annual Kickball game and when you are watching the end of the quarter movies, you’re in the hall working on homework so that’s why ALWAYS get your homework done ALWAYS. My 2 tip to you is DO NOT talk back to the teacher, Otherwise you’re going to be in a HEAP of trouble. Because in 5th grade we do not tolerate that kind of behavior. The teachers will be on you like you just talked back to them and they do not like that one Bit. And now the most Important rule if you’re in Mr. McCartney class. Do not make bets with him!!!! He will win every bet he chooses like in Math we were doing problems and we said he was wrong so Mr. McCartney said “Fine if I am wrong then I will do 10 pushups, But if you lose then you owe me 20 pushups if you opposed for me being wrong” so we said “Ok” turns out he was right and I am not to good at pushups so Number one rule. DON’T MAKE BETS WITH MR.MCCARTNEY=http://!!
Classroom Expectations
Here are 3 Classroom expectations we have in Mr. McCartney’s Class, A good example is we are in fifth grade we don’t goof around if you do you cut into other peoples work time and your work time so basically its more homework for you and the people around you. Our second Classroom expectation is always above the line behavior talked about from teacher to teacher. We have been doing above the line behavior from 1st grade to 12th grade. Above the line behavior is being nice and not being a bad person that’s always cranky and what not. Also are biggest rule in 5th grade… RESPECT! Respect is barely ever used in schools but some of you guys and the entire 5th grade are trying to bring back respect. Have you ever been called a name? That is the opposite of respect and in fifth grade, we do not tolerate that one bit.
Social Time
No not social studies Actually Socially Bonding, Social means to talk to your friends when you are permitted to talk. Skyping is a good way to talk to people from different states and or country! We have talked to people in many different states like a recent one in Rhode Island. Also we have Skyped with people In Canada! So Skyping is very social indeed. Another social bonding was at the Kindness retreat. The kindness retreat was one of the best social thing at school I hope they still do this when the Fifth graders leave. We were allowed to talk with the councilors and Friends when the councilors were not talking. We learned so much about kindness and got a cool pin at the end with a word on it that says KINDNESS. Now here is my third way of socially bonding… blogging! The 5th grade all got blogs starting out from Mr. McCartney’s class. We have so many opportunities to blog with other people from ANYWHERE in the world literally. Also the best part was we get to keep them forever! We also got to customize our own Blog page. The cool part was we could do assignments that Mr. McCartney posted on the blog. On times Mr. McCartney would even post videos of us on his blog cool right?
Challenges of fifth grade
I am sorry to say, yes there are some challenges in fifth grade. Like the number one challenge, Lates. Lates are one of the most commonly known in fifth grade lates can take away grades by 3 points and if you don’t do the late that you got yesterday you get a 0. Lates can also affect the sports you play in school, like if you get more then 5 lates in fourth quarter you do not get to participate in the annual 5th graders versus the teachers. Another challenge is Grades. Grades are the top priority of 5th grade. It can catch up to you when you’re older. Like when you are applying for a job they will check your grades and maybe decline you to work there. Some Homework is very challenging for some in fifth grade. Then another challenge is Homework, homework is a review of basically what you learned today some people don’t listen when the teachers explaining this subject to you it will be a challenge for you when you get home you will mark my words on that.
Thank you for reading my essay I hope that intrigued you when you read this essay I hope this will be as fun as are year through 2009-2010 and I hope it will be fun through 2010-forever! It probably will be as fun as what you have just read well I hope that fifth grade goes well for you and will go extremely easy for you guys.
Sincerely, Extremely happy graduate of fifth grade.

My Ugly Tree
My ugly tree in the middle of nowhere,
You’re a tree I cannot bare,
Old people think you’re beautiful from the trunk to the tip,
I say it will burn good in a fire pit,
The three bushes you grew make me so mad,
I hope my mom hits you in her van,
But finally when I take you for a liking my dad gave you a big ole’ slice,
So now you’re gone

2.Successful People Have a Dream. They have a well-defined purpose. They have a definite goal. They know what they want. They aren’t easily influenced by the thoughts and opinions of others. They have willpower. They have ideas. Their strong desire brings strong results. They go out and do things that others say can’t be done(Found On)http://www.davekahle.com/article/people.htm
3.Successful People Have the Courage to Admit They’ve Made a Mistake. When you make a mistake, admit it, fix it, and move on. Don’t waste a lot of time, energy, money, and/or other resources trying to defend a mistake or a bad decision.(Found On)http://www.davekahle.com/article/people.htm
Remember: When people are wrong, they may admit it to themselves. If they are handled gently and tactfully, they may admit it to others and even take pride in their frankness and broad-mindedness. But people become very defensive and angry when others try to cram their mistakes down their throats
An adult Response: Mr McCartney,
They persevere they don't give up easily and they keep trying even if they fail 60 times. Take risks, smart risk. They're not afraid to take risk and they love what you are doing. If you don't enjoy what you're doing then find a job that suits you.
