​Julianne 6-12-10 L.A. 6th Timed Writing Dear 5th Grader, Some of you might think sixth grade will be terrible. Some of you might think sixth grade will be a blast! What was it really like coming to sixth grade though? Coming to sixth grade, I had a lot of big fears, and things to look forward too. I also recieved advice from previous sixth graders, which I will now give to you. Fears. Everyone has fears when they come to a new school, and a whole new style of teaching. You are probably thinking, Will I get to class on time or What if i forget my locker combination? ninety percent of the kids in my grade perfected their locker combination in the first week, so don't worry too much. Being on time for class is another thing that you won't have to worry about. If you remember where your classes are, and when to go to them, you won't be late. By this time in the year, you will walk to class without even remembering what subject it is! So, if you have any fears, you won't have them by the 2nd marking period, because a lot of kids don't. What did I, as a fifth grader, look forward to when coming to sixth grade? I looked forward to lots of fun days, and exciting field trips. Most of the year, my wish came true! Most of your teachers will find a way to incorperate fun into your lesson. Another thing I looked forward to was a fantastic week at Nature's Classroom! Nature's Classroom was definitly my favorite part of sixth grade, too. You go have fun at an "outdoor school" for a whole week! Your lessons teach you a lot, while amusing and amazing you at the same time! You rarely get bored. Ther last thing I looked forward to was having more freedom. In sixth grade, you get so much more freedom than in fifth grade. You don't have to walk in line, you don't have the same teacher all the time, and best of all, your teachers let you "branch out" and be yourself more often. I think those are some of the biggest things fifth graders should look forward too. The last thing about sixth grade that helped me a lot, and you might want to know, is advice from a sixth grader herself! Some of the advice might be the usual advice that you hear all the time. But, just because you hear it all the time, doesn't mean you shouldn't take that advice to heart. Some advice from me is try your hardest and dont give up, because it pays off. You get better grades if you try your hardest. I'm not saying overload your system and work as hard as a sixth grader possibly can, though. Just work hard and if you give up, the trying was useless. The last piece of advice I need to give you is if you ever need help, don't be afraid to ask your teacher for help. The teachers aren't teaching you to annoy you. They are giving you valuable lessons that you can use later in your life. Also, teachers are your friend. They will always help you if you need it, and most likely, it will help you with your grades. If I didn't cover everything you need to know about sixth grade, I don't know who can! Advice, my big fears, and what I looked forward to can help you with sixth grade, and maybe more.

 Julianne 5-20-10 L.A. Memoirs Have you ever lost something important and found it in the weirdest spot? This has happened to me plenty of times, but there is one that I find the funniest. I was in Mrs. Wengler’s third grade classroom, when we were having an end of the year party. A few weeks before I had received a retainer that I had to wear in my mouth all day. Of course, who keeps their retainer in ALL day? I definitely didn’t. Whenever I was going to eat, I would pop my pretty pink and purple retainer out of my mouth and place it somewhere safe. We had a variety of foods at the party, so we got to choose two kinds of foods that we wanted to eat. I chose a piece of watermelon and a chocolate frosted cupcake. I took out my retainer and placed it on my desk, and soon peeled of the cupcake wrapper. Once I was done with the delicious cupcake I went to go put my retainer back in my mouth, but didn’t see it anywhere. I looked down in the spot I had placed it, by it wasn’t there. I searched under my goodie bag and inside my small desk, but my pink and purple retainer was nowhere to be found. I figured why not ask the teacher for help? So, as I approached Mrs. Wengler, my third grade teacher, I thought of hat I should say. When I finally reached Mrs. Wengler, I was prepared. I slowly whispered, “Mrs. Wengler, I can’t find my retainer. Can you help me find it?” “Class,” she announced, “Julianne has misplaced her retainer, and we are going to help her find it. Everyone stood up and started searching any place a retainer could be. One of the parents asked for rubber gloves and started searching the garbage. I went back to my desk where 5 other kids were looking. I said thanks and I could handle it from there and started fumbling threw some food wrappers. Guess what I found? Sitting underneath the fancy white cupcake wrapper, I found my lovely pink and purple retainer, which was now covered in crumbs. I told everyone that the search was over, and said, feeling very silly, told them that it was found under a cupcake wrapper. I laughed along when everybody started giggling, and that is why this is my most important, and definitely the funniest school memory I have.

 Julianne 5-6-10 L.A. Frederic Remington Frederic Remington was a famous sculptor and painter, who created works of art based on things that happened, were happening, and was in the west. He was born during the year of the Civil War, on October 4, 1861. His father fought in the war, so Frederic went to military school in Odensburg, New York. Remington showed more passion for art than military activities, so he went to school at Yale and The Art Students League in New York City. Shortly after he finished school, he became an illustrator for magazines. He traveled to the west for a magazine, and he fell in love with this region. He used oil and watercolor paints to create his paintings. He used the method of lost-wax casting to create all his sculptures, which were usually of people on horses. But, at age 48 Remington got appendectomy and died December 26, 1909.

Julianne 4-28-10 L.A. Reflection on favorite poets I listened to Pov Chin reading Langston Hughes Minstrel Man. I liked to poem because its kind of like how I feel sometimes, because I walk around with a smile on my face, but I'm feeling so different on the inside. The reader, Pov Chin, liked it because she also feels like it describes her.
