Aly's year reflection

                     Aly's year reflection

                                  My year in Grade 5

                         My year in Grade 5 had its ups and downs. Some subjects I find challenging, some I find fun, and some I find quite simple. Here I will tell you about all the subjects and how I improved in all of them from the beginning.

                             Reading

In reading, I enjoyed the read-a-louds, especially the book Wonder. At the beginning of the year, I thought reading was boring. But after a lot of time, books, and characters, I changed my mind. Now I think reading is fun if you are in a book that is just right for you.   

             

                             Writing

                      We had a lot of units in  Reading this year. My two favorite ones were fantasy and informational. Then it was argument and advocacy. I liked fantasy because we got to publish our own fantasy 14-page book with our own illustrations. Then, we got to read it in front of other students and parents.

                                 Math

This was my 6th year doing Eureka Math. I thought math was not fun because we had to show our work. But as soon as I went to Math Olympiad I started to like math because we did not have to show our work with a model as we had to in  Eureka Math. 

                            Science

            At first, I thought science was hard but after we finished the units, I realized that it was very fun. My favorite unit in science was the animal adaptations unit because we got to do a very fun project with a partner.    

                         Most Challenging
               My most challenging subject was math at the beginning of the school year because I thought it was hard and boring. But after I had a growth mindset about it and tried in math, I became very good at it and it became my favorite classroom subject.   

                           Most Enjoyable

                  My most enjoyable classroom subject this year was math because I improved in it a lot. I enjoyed debating about the answers to the problem then recalculating them over and over again until we find the right answer. 

                            Most Proud of

I'm most proud of math because I got the highest score in it. after getting all my tests back I calculated my average score and it was 97% higher than any other subject I got. ( I always calculate my average when I get tests back.)   

                           Most Growth

I grew the most in math because at the beginning of the year I got 17 out of 20 on all my tests but in the third trimester, writing I didn't get lower than 19 out of 20.
