Chapter 5 Late Elementary

I have many fun memories of the years that I was in 3rd, 4th and most recently the 5th grade at Franklin Elementary. I feel that I have had many experiences while growing up during this time and starting to become my own person. This growing up has included loosing and getting new teeth, going through quite a few shirt and shoe sizes and learning all that I need to to go onto middle school.

In the 3rd grade my teacher was Mrs. Weil. One thing that I remember from this year was that she had just gotten married during the summer and so she was trying to get used to the name at the same time we were. One of my favorite things was when we got to go to the Denver Zoo for Bunk with the Beasts. I did not get much sleep that night and still have a fun time telling my brother about hearing the lions roar. My best friends during this year were Joey, Harry, Nischal. One day during inside recess, Harry, Nischal, and myself were bored and so I took out a spinning top from my desk and I spun it on Harry's stomach. A picture of this was then placed in the year book for that year. It was a fun year.

The 4th grade was filled with another set of memories including having Mrs. White for my teacher - the best teacher of all time. Mrs. White will be one of those teachers that I will always remember because of the way that she helped and encouraged me with all of my work. The 4th grade field trip that was my favorite was to the Georgetown Loop Railroad where we got to ride on the railroad as well as got to go through the mine. My friends this year were the same as 3rd grade and we had so much fun together at school and out of school.

During the 5th grade I started to get ready to go to Powell Middle School. My teacher was Mrs. Goutell. At the beginning of 5th grade we were able to go to Snow Mountain Ranch. My favorite thing about Snow Mountain Ranch was getting to ride the zip line. It was fun to be there at the ranch with all of my friends which was basically the whole class. In the mornings, Harry, Joey, Nischal and myself liked going down to breakfast and filling up out stomachs before we started our busy days. Fifth grade has been fun and interesting but middle school is looking good.

I have to say that my favorite thing about school during this time of my life was seeing my friends every day. The least favorite has to be needing to wake up early to go to school and not being able to sleep in and doing homework.

I think that I had 2 accomplishments during these 3 years. First of all I think I did good in subjects which made me feel better about myself. I also think that I have done good with baseball and I have had a lot of fun learning to pitch and seeing how fast I can throw the ball.

When I was not at school and hanging out with friends, my favorite things to do would be playing baseball, going to Rockies games and going camping with my family. We would have so much fun when we went to Coors field and I even got to walk around the field before the start of one of the games with my team. When we went camping I like to sit around the fire that I had helped my dad start and we would make smores. It is all so much fun.

I think that the reason that I hang out with my friends is because we like the same kind of things. We like to play baseball and do other sports and we have fun laughing at silly things. I am different from other people because I like to do different things like play some games that other people don't like to play. The thing that is unusual about me is that i like to mix food and eat unusual food too.

The people that influence me are athletes because of their hard work and determination. I have had no disturbing experiences during my late elementary years. The things that make me happy in late elementary school are seeing my friends and learning new things. The things that I value are family, friends, hard work, and playing hard.

In conclusion, the late years of elementary school have been fun, a time of making new friends and great memories and a time of learning lots. Most importantly I have had a good time.
