6th Grade

I’m in 6th grade now!!!! i’m so happy!!!!! 6th grade is so far really fun. I have been getting alot of  homework though. Thats the only part I don’t like about 6th grade. I miss all my teachers at my other school. 6th grade has been a blast. I have to go to a lot of classes. i have to go to like 9 classrooms!!!!! Some of them are in the same room though!!!! That makes me really happy!!!!  The hard part about 6th grade is that I have only 3 minutes to get to and from classes!!!! Well i’m used to it now. We also have locks on our lockers. After the first few days I got used to using my lock. Now i’m pretty fast at it. Well thats it for now!!! i’ll keep adding more when i have new stuff coming up!!!! bye!!!
