Welcome to my wiki page, I hope you enjoy your stay!

I'm Lizzie and I'm a 5th grader of Mrs. Paolino's room! I love it very much.

This year is MUCH better then last year. Last year I wasn't very good at math. Now I don't mind it at all! Might mind it later though. I was good at scine last year. I still am now! Its one of my favorites subjects!

Behavior? Well last year it was okay I guess, some glitches but not as good as this year. I know that because I get along with my classmates better then last year. As a fifth grader i really want to improve with socious studies. I got a bad grade on my states test. I want to improve with that. As they say practice makes perfect!

**

Now off with 4th grade and in with 5th grade! **

Okay. I was looking at some of my work I did this year. Now the thing that stood out to me the most was the burger paragraph. What was it like? Okay I guess. As Mrs. Paolino said it was confusing with a messed up structure. I hope to get better with getting the details and such. Really I wish I could change the way I wrote the paragraph. That would be really nice.

So now I'm going to talk about my tri-folds. I think I did really well with them. I was pretty good with the details and such. I'd like to make them a little more interesting on some questions. Cause on some questions I think I got really boring. It was really fun overall. And I don't really have anything I want to change like the Bugar paragraph.

Over all I'm very good at writing short things like for the tri-folds. And not very good with large projects like the bugar paragraph. I'd like to improve with my large writing area. Were going to have alot more huge writings. So yes I'll practice with that also!

And since its a new year, we have new goals! Of course I do also! Like I would like to get better with adding fractions, I sometimes get confused with that! I also want to get better with writing things with a topic that I get to choose myself. Because I get better grades when I don't get to choose the topic, while I get lower grades when I get to choose the topic!

Now I've got a lot better with adding fractions. I'm still not the best at writing things when I get to choose my own topic. I hope that can improve! Our class has done alot of projects. We are even going to do one soon! Its a project on fantasy books. I think you choose a book and do a report on it. When its done it's ether a wheel with some things that happened in the book or a cube that also has some things that happened in the book. I'm going to do the wheel! We have just finshed a project also! Mrs. Paolino calls it "Our Journey West". The title pretty much gives away what the project is about. If you don't get it then its pretty much about you going to Oregon City or California. I chose California.

Now I have finshed the fantasy project. What's weird is that I did the cube instend of the wheel! What's even weirder is that I got a really good grade on it! It wasn't really that good in my opinion. But still its nice that I got that grade! We also had done something called "The Wanted Poster." It's pretty much this writing piece where you choose a character from your fantasy project and write about them. But in this piece we use figures of speech to discribe the character! So yeah, all we had to do was write 3 simles, 1 metaphor and 1 idoem about the character. It wasn't that hard at all! Now you see most of the projects I mentioned were done near the end of year. Now that I look back at things I have done back in September I'm really proud of what I have acomplished through the school year. But the thing I am most proud of has to be the fantasy project. That thing is just amazing! You know, at the beginning of the school year I couldn't do something like that if my life depended on it! Really, I wish I could show you all how nice that thing is! My personality has also changed quite a bit. Now I'm a bit more outspoken and willing to embarress myself in front of the class. That was a trait that I did not have back in September. I gained some neative traits also. One of those is being extremly clingy to people. I know that sounds really weird but it's true! I bet a lot of people hope that will be fixed by the end of the year.. Oh well! I'm really curious what middle school will be like... Will it be similar to elementary school? What will be different? I want to know it all! I also hope the former 6th/7th graders will be nice to me. They weren't back when they were in elementary school. Let's just hope for the best! Here are some projects I have done through the year: I have made a video starring the Tillamook tribe! (One of the tribes that Lewis and Clark met on there journey.)

Help and Extra Stuff

Here are some useful shortcuts you might want to use when editing your wiki page:

Apple c : Copy Apple v : Paste Apple = : Spell check Apple z : Undo Apple f = Find something Apple shift 4 = Screenshot something

Please note that the spell check does not work for some computers. I'm sorry about that.

Jazz it up Okay now some help you might need. To change the color of text go to the T on the Editor Bar that has a paint pallet on it. Once you click on it you should see something like this: Got that? Okay I'll tell you what each thing means. Okay for the first one, Font. You have 15 different fonts to choose from. So yeah click on the font you want. And there you go. One part done. Size is easy. Just click on the + to make it bigger and the - to make it smaller. Easy no? Text Color is just as easy. Use the color wheel to choose what color you want. Same with the background color. Alignment just where you want the text. Like right now its left. All ya need to know.
 * Make sure the text you want to change is highlighted. **

So now that you did that You should be able to edit text just fine now. Good job!
