5th+Grade+Reflections



Can you believe that in a few short weeks your elementary school experience will come to an end? Next year each of you will be attending 6th grade at Baird Middle School and because of the wonderful educational foundation you have built we have no doubt that each of you will continue to do extremely well. You all should be very proud of your accomplishments. Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Dukeshire and Mrs. Corrieri are confident that we will continue to hear amazing things about each of you! Your final assignment will be to reflect on your what your school has meant to you and your accomplishments and highlights of 5th grade. So before starting this assignment please take a few minutes to think back on this past school year.


 * Your assignment:** Please use the discussion feature on this page to write a short essay that reflects on what your school has meant to you and your accomplishments and highlights of 5th grade. As always this assignment requires solid proofreading, with attention to spelling, grammar and style before posting. **Please remember that a short essay should be longer than one or two sentences**. An essay should have a thesis statement telling the reader what the essay will be about, and what point you, the author, will be making. In addition you should explain, describe and/or argue your point in the body of your essay and don't forget to write a conclusion to give closure to the reader, summing up your points or providing a final perspective on your topic.
