What I remember about 5th grade:
1. I had a male homeroom teacher for the first time in fifth grade.
2. I liked Mr. Morton he was nice to the students and made learning fun.
3. I was a good speller in 5th grade and got 100% on my spelling test almost every week. (Sadly that doesn't apply now - I've become dependant on spell check!)
4. We went on a field trip to the Seattle Aquarium. I loved it! My love for animals expanded to include a love for sea life.
5. In October we had a pumpkin carving contest and we were asked to bring a knife with our pumpkin to school (wow, how things have changed!)
6. In the spring we played baseball. All the 5th grade classes were divided up into teams of 9. I was terrible but my brother practiced with me and I got much better.
7. Mr. Morton was at the forefront of the "green" movement - teaching his students to recycle, save water, plant trees...

I remember that I enjoyed my English class very much because we had a wonderful teacher: Miss Norma. We had some spelling contests too and it was so exciting! In Mexico usually on Monday mornings at schools there's this ceremony where there are Honors to our Mexican Flag...I remember on 5th grade I was the one carring the flag which is a great honor! so usually the students making the honor roll are the ones that have that privilege... A lot of Mondays I did! so it's a great memory!!
