Personal Narrative: Seventh Grade

Seventh grade has been a mix of amazing and crazy. You might be wondering why I don’t have a chapter for sixth grade. In fifth grade, I had expressed how I felt bored and that school work was too easy. My mother took this into account. She talked about it at conferences with my fifth grade homebase, Mrs. Breza. Then, my mom introduced the idea of skipping a grade. I knew there had been students that have skipped before me, but I never thought of the idea for myself. The school was hesitant to the idea. My family was fully for it and pushed for it to happen. I found out on step up day that I was going to skip. I was really upset because I went through sixth grade step up day without having any information from the school. When I arrived home, …show more content…
Turner. I am so thankful we have a small class, or else it would be chaos. I generally don’t enjoy his class, but it’s okay OCCASIONALLY. My current spot is in the back by his desk and the door, which is a pretty nice seat. I sit by Drew Turner, Abby Thole, and Cade Chapman. Cade talks A LOT which is so annoying. From my seat, I can hear him CLIPPING HIS NAILS. What the heck!! I find that gross to do in a classroom setting WITH STUDENTS in class. It makes me cringe.

Velásquez. This class is so much fun to be in, with an awesome teacher and fun classmates. We write A LOT in L.A. I wrote a persuasive essay about animal testing. We also wrote essays about firefighters and then combined them together with our group. That was a really fun project because the group essay ended up being really cool. Our class also read some awesome books. We read Seedfolks, The Pigman, The Outsiders, and are reading Touching Spirit Bear. I really like Touching Spirit Bear and the themes in the book. To start the class off, we watch CNN Student News. Carl Azuz is the host, and at the end of every show, he throws down some sick puns. Everyone in our class has a kick out of them. As I said before, Mrs. V’s class is so much fun. We play really fun games in there that everyone enjoys. Fun games we play include raw macaroni, murder game, pip squeak wilber, going camping, and the fly swatter vocab game. Mrs. V had an award show called “Spice Awards” where she picked the best parts of someone’s persuasive essay and students voted on it. The award was on a vinyl record. I won best paragraph for my opening. I was so excited. I still have my record today. Mrs. V’s class is so much fun and I’m lucky to be in
