I was a little worried because I thought fifth grade has many many homework and I also thought that the homework was very very hard. But I stopped worrying when Mr Stevo talked about grade five.
I think the holiday was very short and soon two months have been gone!!!

I think this year at grade 5 will be a great year with a new teacher, a new class and new friends.
