5th Grade FOCUS, School Reflections, and Mini Shakespear's Play

Fifth Grade FOCUS-
I have had many experiences in Fifth Grade FOCUS even though I have only been in it for a few months now. Some of the my not-so favorite things in FOCUS is the logic and analogies, but something i do enjoy is learning Greek and Latin root words for our vocabulary tests. FOCUS can give you many learning experiences for future middle school classes or Probe classes. In FOCUS we have learned about Triple Venn Diagrams, FOCUS Vocab, Shakespeare, Hands on Equations. I have enjoyed being in FOCUS with new people and being with Mrs. Zawacki!
At Rock Springs Elementary I have had many memories like chorus plays, AC math, peerleading, many more including field day, book fair and more exciting things. It is sad that I am going to be leaving R.S. ,but the good thing about that is that I am getting older and moving on to middle school. I will miss all my teachers and the ones I didn't have and all my classmates and friends in other grades or if they are going to another school. I will miss you Raptors and soon to be Eagles!
Reader's Theater has been an exciting thing for me beacuse we are doing a play from Shakespeare. I am not as excited as I thought I would be beacuse I'd rather be a girl than a boy but it will still be fun. The play is called A MidSummer Night's Dream. My part is a boy named Puck and he is trying to help out Oberon but mainly try to make him smile. The over all main idea is that two lovers from different backgrounds meet and want to get married but they can't because they are not allowed to and their names are Hermia and Lysander, but Helena is in love with Demetrius but he likes Hermia and Hermia loves Lysander which Hermia is suppose marry Demetrius. Lysander is left alone, not to marry anyone, but at th end Lysader does marry someone and that ssomeone is Hermia. Helena ends up marrying Demetrius. So this play has so much confusion in it but at least everyone gets to marry who they wanted to. With this confusing play we are doing I am having a good time with it so far in FOCUS.
