When I have been getting ready for 6th grade during the summer, I was excited to go to 6th grade, I wanted to see how the Middle school looked like from the inside because I have only gone there for ceremonies at end of the year, talent shows, and the gym to see people perform. When I finally got to see it was completely different than elementary school, the thing about middle school that I liked the most was that we would switch classes, and we would have five classes every day, it was fun having different classes every day, and to stay in the same every day or just switch to the same class every time. In encounters, we made lots of things, we made a scene of the middle ages in a shoebox, we also made a shield out of clay, which was fun, collages, the sketch of the shields on paper, and a lot of more cool things. In art class we drew something we liked then we colored it, cut it out, and finally, we sprayed painted over it outside with other spray-painted drawings, mine was the batman signal. In social studies, we once made our own Island, we had to draw it, color it, have many different countries, and write an essay about it, the name of my Island was candy land, we all had to draw it on a big piece of paper. Science was another one of my favorite periods, and we made a science fair project, and I choose spoiled milk, while I did this at home pored four different kinds of milk into containers and all of them spoiled at different times, the kinds of milk with less fat or sugar spoiled first while the milk with more didn’t.

In Encounters, there were many things we did and the only thing I did not do was go on The Middle ages field trip, my mom wouldn’t let me go and I ended up going to all my classes except encounters, instead, I went to Mrs. Demantes class, and read Percy Jackson the whole class. During this class, something weird happened, and I didn’t tell anyone when Mrs. Demante went to do something outside the classroom, a boy got on top of the desk, said something, and then went back down just in time for Mrs. Demante not to see anything. I didn’t want to say anything I did not want anyone to hate me, so I kept quiet until today, I will say who the boy was. The reason my mom didn’t let me go to The Middle Ages trip was that is not what my mom and my whole family and I don’t believe in or we don’t believe in what the Middle Ages people believed in period end of discussion.

When spring break finally came I was so happy because I could spend time with my family, we did many things together that I can’t remember, but when I woke up one day to get ready for school my mom said it was canceled because of covid-19. I was so happy that we had another week of spring break. Then online learning started, it was nice not to have to go to school and not have the STAAR test, instead, I would print out the work, do it, take a picture and turn it in, we had our own school Chromebook that we could use. Instead of google meets, we used zoom instead, I don’t remember having any zoom or google meets during online learning in 6th grade, I would also work anywhere, on my bed, on the couch, on the floor, downstairs, and on my office. During the whole online learning months, I didn’t step a foot outside, nor go to the store, it was really boring to stay inside, I almost missed school.

6th grade had many adventures, some highs, and some lows, but we got through it, and are now having everything online, and no even having a glance of the outside world, but that doesn’t matter anymore, were having a new adventure get past another year of online school. 6th grade was the best year of middle school, we had many adventures there, and I hope we have a bigger one this year too.
