Surviving 6th

Choosing the Right Path

Sixth grade can be easy or hard but it is up to you to decide that. When you go to Riverwatch Congress when the person asks someone to come up try to be the first one because the winner gets 5 dollars. Do not be worried about the amount of homework it is not as much as you probably will except. Watch careful from a distance the wild yoga balls look very calm but not be fooled by its appearance they are a fierce buckers kicking you off whenever they get the chance. Building a sugar cube pyramid was really fun in Social Studies.The science projects that will blow your mind! To conclude sixth grade is not that

hard as you probably think.

Things You'll Need to Know to Survive 6th Grade

   You get a lot more homework.

-You're going to have to balance your time between homework and enjoyment activities. You should also use any available class time you have to finish your homework.

   You'll get iPad minis.

-They're easier to fit into your binder and your backpack, but they're also easy to drop and break. That will cause A LOT of trouble! (I'd be one to know!)

 

   Responsibilities

- Speaking of iPad minis, you'll get to take them home! But, they're a BIG responsibility. If they break once you'll be given a warning.  However, if it's the second or third time, you'll have to pay for a new one, so BE CAREFUL!!!

   Partner Projects

-There'll be a whole lot of social studies partner projects, (okay, two or three), so you're going to need to make friends whenever you get the chance so you'll end up with at least one person you know.

How to Deal with 6th Grade

How to make a school year feel like a week

Dear 5th Grade,

     Make sure you stay ahead on school work or you will fall way behind.  I think your education is what you make of it. Make the most of your experience. In addition, do not get discouraged. "I am only one,but I am still one, I can't do everything, but I can do somthing." -Helen Keller. The quote I just said from Hellen Keller makes me feel confident and encouraged. Finally, when you run the mile, pace yourself and then sprint in the final stretch and you'll be sure to set a PR (personal record).

                         Sincerely,

                               Carter S.

Take it from me

Take it from me 

Hello sixth graders to be. I am Collin and I will be telling you what you will be looking forward to when going into sixth grade. First, one of the best things that will happen is that you will be able to have iPads all year and you will be able to take them home. Second, there will be a lot more projects in all classes. My personal favorite was the IMovie book group project where you read a book and then make an iMovie about it. You will also be introduced to a whole new team of teachers. They teach you lots of new information. The biggest thing that I think happened to me this year is that I learned a lot more stereotypical topics like Algebra, formulas, how atoms work, how an electromagnet works, and many more. You also will be able to do band but you will need to be good or Mr. A will yell at you. One of the most fun things you will be able to do this year is that you will be to go down to the creek and test the water for many this like turbidity, flow ,D.O, plus others. I hope that this has helped you look forward to the sixth grade.

A Summer Away

Some things you need to know about sixth grade are that you'll be able to join band and you'll have new and great teachers. Be sure to only use your iPad when necessary. It can get you in trouble or taken away. REMEMBER to charge your iPad every night. You will need it for the next day and you don't want a dead battery. A tip you should follow is use classroom homework time well because you will need it on some days. You will not have a crazy amount of homework but you will have enough where if you do a sport or any other after school activities that you will be up late to get it done. One thing I thought was fun was the River Watch Congress field trip. We did not have that many field trips this year, but one thing to remember is take good notes on the field trip because they could be helpful during the year.

6 grade craziness

6th grade is really fun if you keep up on your homework. Some things to look forward to is German and a ton of skiing. Also you get to go skating with your class. Be ready for a lot of projects in science. You will need rubber boots when you go down to the creek. The two field trips you go on are Riverquest and River Watch. You get to do a lot of things with water. Lastly, the play is also fun for those who like acting.

Sixth Grade Advice

I view sixth grade as kind of that year when you start that long journey of discovering your style and personality. I kinda jumped on and off the style train. I went from hippie to hot topic in a record time of about one month. You've probably seen my emo hair or heard my boot buckles clinking down the hall, but I'm not actually that scary. I like bands and tv and painting my nails just like the next person, just what I do is a little different. The person next to you might love Pretty Little Liars, but not for even one second should you think that you need to change yourself just to be their definition of "popular" or "cool" or "pretty". You've probably heard that whole "we're all beautiful on the inside" talk, but the truth is, not all of us are. There are some really nasty people out there that think it's fun just to bring other people down.

  Be patient and understanding, but don't let anyone push you around or take advantage of you. Also, the definition of "cool" does NOT mean you need to wear makeup and buy clothes at Abercrombie and Fitch and Aeropostale. I spent most of sixth grade in band t-shirts and jeans and honestly, those girls who giggle in high pitched voices and gossip about shopping and boys are repulsive. I'm perfectly fine with my bands and fictional characters, thank you very much! So what if I play video games and listen to loud music instead of wearing skirts and going to the mall? Does that make them any better than me? No! Absolutely not. But if shopping and boys is your fancy, I don't go up to you and tell you so. Well actually I do but that doesn't mean that you should. Bad example, sorry. Anyways, point is to be yourself. Stay yourself but find yourself, be you. Enjoy being a kid while you can because once it's gone it's gone. Good Luck!

6th Grade Year

     I enjoyed many things this year! One of those things was math class. I've never really liked math class but this year it was super fun! I loved hands on equations, DE and even Aleks could be enjoyable. Another thing I enjoyed this year was English class.

All the writing projects were awesome and the read alouds were always interesting. The musical was super fun because it was a time when the whole grade was together and we got a lot of free time! All the projects in every subject were great! I loved skiing! And in English class the book groups and IMovie project were awesome! Going to Brewery Creek for science class was always fun and nice cause it was like taking a break from the school day! Overall there are a lot of things to look forward to in 6th grade!

Are You Ready For It?

You should be excited to move up to 6th grade. One extremely fun activity that we did in 6th grade was a musical. Some advice on the musical is: try your hardest and you will do fine. Do not be afraid to do what you are not used to. Another fun activity we did was going to River Quest. At River Quest we were able to learn about estuaries, fish, invasive species, and much more. Plus, we were able to ride on the Vista Star as we were learning. Now some advice for sixth grade: study for all your tests and work hard on your projects. Do not forget to do your homework and always work hard.

The 6th Grade

   By : Gaelen   

      In the 6th grade you get to go down to Brewery Creek to do water testing. My advice is to not goof around and if you don't goof around that will be your favorite thing in science. The iPad minis are really fun to use. You might get more homework but it isn't that hard in certain subjects. There will be projects in German and other classes and they are really fun.

       The Oliver Twist play was really fun to do and putting it on for your parents is is also fun and that was my favorite part of the year. In English Mr. KJ will read a book in the beginning of class and they are really good books.

      Science is the best subject because you do a lot of awesome things, like building boats and roller coasters.  If you are going to do band you will have a good time. But you must play the Barton because it is the instrument I play.  Plus, t is easy and fun to play and has a nice sound.

You Don't Say

You Don't Say

An advice column for future 6th graders

There are a lot of things that are pretty obviously bad ideas, but I'm going to list them all because everyone does them. Whatever you do, don't do these things.

Try to hack the iPad profiles

When you first get your iPads, the first instinct is to inspect it. This is not a bad thing, but as soon as you find the profiles under settings, it turns bad. Immediately, you type in a random 4 number PIN (usually your lunch number) and fail. It does not have disasterous consequences, but you may be approached by Mrs. Houle and told not to- in which case you start to hyperventilating and freak out as soon as she asks to talk to you. Nothing bad happens, but it is better to just leave the profiles alone.

      2. Procrastinate

I'm sure almost everyone has already done this at some point, but just don't. You get bad grades, a bad reputation, and it makes you look lazy. Finish yer homework!!

      3. Cheat

There is now an honor code in play, but people will still cheat. You don't need to be one of them. Cheating, while it may seem silver-lined, it never turns out well. You will be caught, severely punished, and lose all the points on whatever you cheated on. Just don't do it.

Death By Education

If you want to survive the sixth grade here are some tips you will need to know if you don't want to die by education.

1. Come prepared.  Be prepared with all the materials you need for class or your life will be ruined.

2. Do whatever it takes to get into Mrs.Kiero's quote book.

3. Don't stress to much about a bad grade or a late assignment.

4. Be patient with homework and take your time. Sometimes teachers minds can go kaboom along with yours.take time to figure things out

Success For Sixth Grade

By: Carissa

     Even though sixth grade is diffucult, it is a lot of fun! But make sure you can balance your work and your outside of school activities. 

     1. Don't procrastinate! Especially if you play lots of sports! It's easy to procrastinate but it's better to get work done, ASAP. 

     2. Be organized. That is really important! Always write homework assignments in your planner, don't lose things and just keep your locker and cubby organized. Don't have things you don't need. 

     3. Keep up with not only school but friends too. Even if you have a lot of work, take a break and hang out with your friends! It's sure to make sixth grade even better! 

     4. Participate in things. Participate in not only sports but clubs and things with your friends! If you do a musical participate because it's so much fun! 

      5. Have fun! Though sixth grade is tough sometimes, it's extremely fun! Make sure you enjoy sixth grade with all the great opportunities you get! If something good is sent your way, take it! 

How to Try and Survive Sixth Grade

How to Survive 6th Grade 

     Sixth grade is a really tough year. But here are some tips that will help you out. 1.) stay organized. You really need to stay organized. It makes life so much easier. My suggestion is to clean your locker and cubby at least once every few months. The easier to find things the less time you have to stress out over it. 2.) Study a lot! Some people don't have to study and some people just don't study but it's good to develop good academic habits. It will help you for the rest of your time in school. 3.) Don't worry so much if you're new. I was new this year so I know how hard it can be to switch schools. But I didn't just move schools, I moved states. So I know how hard it is to make friends when you know no one. You have to find friends that you can really trust. And also if you're  new don't worry about knowing all the rules and stuff since  it will all come together. I hope this advice helps you for 6th grade. Good luck! 

6th Grade Advice

Incoming 6th Graders:

In sixth grade there is more homework but there are still field trips, but most of them include learning things about rivers. We also did a musical called Oliver Twist. Just a hint: if you don't want to sing or act a lot, you should try to get a smaller role, like set design.

In English you will have a read aloud and no spelling tests! If you have Mr. KJ for English you get to sit on "round chairs". 

There are so many more things that I won't add because if I added them all, this list would be almost infinet, but I know you all will do fine.

Good Luck in 6th Grade,

Brandon Jahn

Recipe for success

Make the Most of Your Year by Hanna W.

Some people think sixth grade is hard, but I don't. There are many things you have to do to keep sixth grade fun. Sixth grade helps prepare you for the rest of your career in school. If you stick to this advice, you will have great success in sixth grade.

Homework: To have success in sixth grade you have to DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Some days there will be a lot of homework, and others there won't be any. As long as you use your time wisely, and plan it right, getting your homework done shouldn't be a problem. Make sure your homework is done on time and don't procrastinate!

Tests: We don't get a lot of big tests, but we do have quite a few small quizzes. If you take good notes, and/or use your resources to study you will have a great chance at acing the test. We have a lot of smal vocabulary and spelling quizzes in English, but as long as you study those should be really easy. The only time we have big tests is in social studies, and those are usually open note tests.

iPads: These iPads are pretty easy to get used to. The only thing is, you have to be careful with them when you take them home. Make sure you always charge your iPad, every day! Be careful with siblings around, because bad things can happen if they get your iPad. After a little while, you get used to bringing iPads home and it soon becomes a routine.

Brewery Creek: Going to test water in Brewery Creek is not always the most fun thing to do. Sometimes it's cold, or raining, or even snowing. It is fun to learn the processes of testing water with different methods. Sometimes the weather conditions make testing water miserable. Make sure you have warm clothes in the winter, and rain boots in the spring, you will need them.

Teachers and Classes: The sixth grade teachers are really understanding and nice. In English with Mr.  KJ, you will read a lot and write a lot of fun pieces. In math with Mrs. Kiero, it is enjoyable learning about the different math skills. My favorite activity is Hands On Equations; it's a lot of fun. Science with Mr. DJ is a lot of fun because we do a lot of fun projects. In German with Frau Grover, you will learn a lot of German words and phrases.

Your year will be the best it can be if you try your hardest to follow my advice. If you really try, you could have the best year ever! The classes are fun, teachers are nice, and technology makes life simpler. You shouldn't be afraid of sixth grade because you will do just fine. My advice could help you a lot during your sixth grade year.

Helpful advice for 6th grade

If you are worried about 6th grade, don't be because the teachers are really nice. For example, Mr. KJ is a really nice English teacher who loves biking, running, reading, and teaching. Mr. KJ may seem a little strict but, he is nice like candy. 

Another nice teacher is Mrs. Kiero who loves minions, math, and cribbage. If you are good at cribbage Mrs. Kiero is the challenge to beat. And if you also like minions, show Mrs. Kiero your best minion picture and she might give you something. 

A great sience teacher is Mr. DJ. It's really easy to mix up Mr. KJ and Mr. DJ. But Mr. DJ is a fun, enthusiastic, and a hard working teacher. To conclude, this is why 6th grade is really fun.

Sixth grade advice

                                 Three Words of Advice for 6th Grade

• ●  Have a lot of friends. If you have a lot of friends, you will most likely be in their class.

• ●  Don't procrastinate. When you have homework due in two days, get it done. You might get a lot tomorrow.

• ●  Practice your instrument for music. It helps. 

A Whole New Year

  Guess what fifth graders!? Sixth grade is going to be lots of fun. In sixth grade we go to a trip on the Vista. We learn about estuaries and hypothermia. Here's the fun part, you get to start band and you get to be in a play. If you're lucky enough you can do Oliver Twist and be Mr. Brownlow like me. In sixth grade you get IPad minis! How fun is that? You also get to take it home. I know that's exciting. You guys will fly by sixth grade really fast. The year will go fast but will be a lot of fun. 

  

You also don't have to be worried about getting left back because if you have the same teachers I did, you'll learn everything amazingly fast. Remember the creek by Mr. Dj's house? Well, you get to go down there. We test water and submit our results to Riverwatch. Don't worry. You'll go there in sixth grade. There are also prizes in sixth grade. If you write an amazing essay for Riverwatch, you get gift cards, three water bottles and a bunch of other prizes.

  Now you probably want to know how to ace sixth grade. Easy! All you have to do is pay attention in class and do extra credit. Especially in math or science. Those are the easiest grades to fall behind on. At least for me.

  Now that you know everything about sixth grade, I hope you have a nice year and follow my advice. 

  

How to Ace the Grade

Don't be on cocaine (IPad) during Mr. KJ's class.

     "Cocaine" is kind of an inside joke you will get to know well being in Mr. KJ's class. When you are in his class you should be listening and not on your cocaine (IPad) because if you are he will find you and when he does it's not looking good for your iPad. He calls it "cocaine" because it, for some people, can be addicting. In conclusion listen, don't play games in class.

Don't ask how to spell a word with an iPad in your hands.

      If you ever find yourself sitting in a class wondering, how do I spell a word? The first thing you should do is see if you have an iPad in your hands turn it on and look it up and don't turn and ask the student sitting next to you. You should look it up on your iPad it will probably save you time and then you will never forget again.

Study

        Studying is probably the most important thing that you should do in 6th grade. By studying you can set yourself up better to succeed in 6th grade. Also by studying you can do better on tests and you won't be stressed when taking the test. Then, by doing that you will get all A's in 6th grade.

6th grade advice. It helps.

Random 5th grader,

     I am here to help you through 6th grade with some advice. Ok, first I will tell you about the homework situation. There is not nearly as much homework as 5th grade. However you have to get it in on time or else it is a 50% or 0%. Next I will tell you about the IPads. During class (unless told) you can not use them. At the start of the year you set them up which is difficult but try to pay as much attention as possible (I didn't and it made things hard). What you also need to know is to study for tests. The tests can be very hard if you don't study or pay attention. One thing that is key in 6th grade is your behavior. You can not fool around or else you'll get busted. Horseplay is not tolerated (especially in science because it can be dangerous). One last piece of advice is to do your best. Don't slack ir get bad grades because it will come back to bite you.

That's all!

A Summer Away

A Summer Away

Sixth Grade is only a summer away so here are highlights and also some tips...

Tip one: Never and I mean never try to sneak your cocaine into Mr. K.J's class because you won't get away with it. Don't freak, Mr. KJ calls the iPad cocaine.

Highlight: We all got to experience acting in a play. It's a tradition for the sixth graders to act in a play that the seniors did when they were in sixth grade.

Tip two: You will get an iPad mini that you can take home. My advice is to find an outlet in your room to place your charger where you will never forget it and always charge your iPad mini overnight.

Highlight: You can celebrate a new holiday that you might not even know existed. That holiday of course is Pi day! Pi day is full of pie, party, and extra credit that is amazingly easy and fun!!!

Tip three: Your new gym teacher Mr. Schoer has a pet peeve that is not to be dealt with. That pet peeve is bad manners and sometimes he'll take back what he gives if you don't say thank you!

Highlight: We get to watch a news channel called CNN Student News that is ten minutes long and asks different questions. They say shoutout or roll call and they ask you a question and you can yell out the answer!

You Got a Lot to Learn

  

Dear future 6th graders, sixth grade is nothing like you have been told. First some teachers say they are preparing you for 6th grade by being harsh. Well they are completely over exaggerating it. Also, you get pretty much the same amount of homework but it's just harder. Along with that if you play sports this homework may be harder to handle. Lastely there are a lot more fun progects and groupings. As you can see 6th grade is hard but it's nothing you can't handle.

A prison? Or a field of daisies? You decide

If you don't finish your work ontime and turn your work in late it only counts as fifty percent and those kill. Even worse zero's destroy your grade if you don't turn it in at all! If you're having trouble ask a teacher because they will most likely help you! Don't use exclimation points! They! Are! Bad! For! Your! Grade!! If you study, and pay attention you'll be good unless you're Henry  juuuust kidding but seriously. Respect the teachers especially Mr. Kj since he has a nasty left hook

A Day In The Life of Your Sixth Grade Future

A Day In the Life of Your Sixth Grade Future

  As you find yourself transitioning into sixth grade, first thing you need to know is: you'll survive. You may think you won't, but you will. Another thing is: have a good attitude. Sixth grade is gonna come and go. That doesn't mean you shouldn't take it seriously.Your homework load is going to get slightly heavier, but not too bad. Here are some tips:

      In science, if you have Mr. DJ; enjoy the roller coaster project. Seriously. It might be the most fun project of the whole year. For you own good, always have rain boots. Always. In math, always, always redo homework and tests that you aren't happy with. This might be the only time a teacher will let you do it. (I know I'm saying always a lot, but I need to get the point across.) Bring a notebook, too. You'll need it. English class has exercise balls (round chairs). I know, fun, yeah, but they will ruin friendships. It's like the Hunger Games. Either get there early, or stick with chairs. The only day of the whole year I got around chair, was the first day of school. Choose wisely.

      Good 'ole social studies. Except you're going to have homework almost everyday. My pointers for you are: bring tons of lined paper, and study. For. Tests. Seriously. Sixth grade really isn't that bad. Actually, thinking about it, it was pretty easy. Still, try hard. Also, use your planner. Don't just think, "Oh, I'll just look at the calendar." Write it down. Teachers forget, and so do you. I can't tell you how many times I have had a friend forget homework because they didn't write it down, and the teacher forgot to put it on the calendar. Planners will save your life, as you probably know.

       I'm making this sound worse than it is, but it's better to be relieved than disappointed. So enjoy sixth grade, and try your hardest.

6th Grader, Soon to Be

                6th grader, soon to be

                 Here's some advice from me,

                 Where you are going, change will be,

                 Abundant, please believe in me

                 Your world will be crammed to the top,

                 Of German, a musical, shall I stop?

                 Your agenda will also contain

                 Writing, And in science, a plane

                 Some things to hold onto the same,

                 Gym, Art, Music, playing a game,

                 Friends, New, Old, and Just quite weird

                 Will keep you up and spritely, cheered

                 So don't stay awake at night

                 Dreaming of next year, 'time of fright!'

                 It is really quite okay

                 Don't fret about first sixth grade day,

                 Though the ipad minis may be new

                  And taking them home might be too,

                  Friends and teachers will help you 

                  And someday you'll be writing this to-

                  The next year of 6th graders soon to be.

         

         

                 

         

                  

Things to Know About 6th Grade by Zoe Johnson

-First of all, homework. It's not as hard as you would think it's going to be. It's not a lot, even. Just take a breath and do that fifteen to twenty-five minutes of homework!

-Second. Be organized! Take time in your school day and clean out your cubby or locker.

-Third is be prepared. Don't forget anything and try not to lose pencils. Losing pencils will be your worst nightmare!

-This kind of touches on the third one but never forget to bring boots and a jacket when it's raining or snowing! I promise you that if you forget it, it will be the death of you! You go down to the creek a lot during the rain or snow.

We kinda got all the negative stuff out of the way, so let's get to the positive things.

-You get to go down to Brewery Creek! It's amazing and super pretty. You get to be around a lot of nature when your with Mr. DJ. 

-You get to be in band! Another opportunity to find what you really like.

-Field trips, lots of mini field trips. You get to go down to the lake and ride on a boat! You get to go to River Watch!

-You get a couple projects this year and they are really fun to do.

-Have fun! Be excited to go into sixth grade. It is a great year.

The Grade To Age

Accept responsibility for your life.

Know that it is you who will get where

You want to go, no one else.

Because you cannot escape the

Responsibility of tomorrow by

Evading it today. 

Accept the homework and 

Learn from it. Know that it

Is you who will succeed, 

No one else. 

Because you cannot escape

School tomorrow by

Evading it today.

You are only responsible for

What you say, not what you understand.

You are responsible for your life, 

You can't keep blaming somebody else

For your dysfunction.

Life is really about moving on.

Because the price of greatness

Is responsibility.

How to Ace Sixth Grade

Anti-Awry Advice

1.  Do not get used to a certain amount of homework: the amount fluctuates daily. 

2. Use a planner or check the homework calendar. It's easy for something to slip your mind.

3. Musicals and large group projects may be a sheep in wolf's clothing--but only if you have prepared for a wolf. If you haven't prepared, it will be a wolf.

4. No good comes out of fighting over round chairs in Mr. KJs class.

5. Pay attention in class and don't use your iPad. No amount of teaching by classmates can replace a teachers' teachings.

So You Want to be a Pro ?

This is an extreme sport, it takes years and years of training and experience. Some are born with that fire in their eye, others have to earn it.  The following list points out the best places to nap.

1. Bed
A traditional, comfy, clean place. Elevated from  the floor you can put your body into the silky smooth warm habitat. A king or queen size is about right for me not too soft but not too stiff. So I ask myself, do I like MY bed? (just watch out for bed bugs, predator number 3 of the sleeping world). If you want to go pro start with a bed.

2. Sectional
Ah the wide open spaces, the rolling butt grooves, the the lush blankets. I am talking about my sectional,  a place of freedom and peace. You can watch tv while you plunge into a nap, read that book that I want to read to act classy, eat and go into a food coma. An excellent place for experienced sleepers.

3. Floor
SDS: stop, drop, and sleep. The floor is a novice sleepers playground - simple and convenient, yes but sorta clean. In my house it's fine, but at the mall or that really comfortable corner at Barnes & Noble it's quite dirty. So be warned, even though it is fast, it is also grubby.

4. The Lawn
Feel like going natural, then try the lawn, a nice and natural sleeping environment. Just don’t sleep outside in the winter since you may get cold. The grass provides a furry carpet and the sun is your heat lamp.

5. School
Even for pro sleepers school is a challenge since prowling teachers are constantly looking for any chance to embarrass you. School is a great place  to catch up on Zzz's, just beware of teachers. ESPECIALLY DON’T FALL ASLEEP IN MR. KJ’S CLASS.

My Top Five Amazing People!

 

    I watch these people represent a different personality in a whole new way. I view these women with admiration and respect. They are astounding and I take them as role models.

 

 

1.         Jennifer Lawrence is in my top five list because her acting in The Hunger Games and Catching Fire was very intriguing. The way she made me believe that she was actually a survivor of a fight to the death.

2.         Anne Hathaway is in my top five list because her performance in Les Miserables was phenomenal. The way that she made me believe that she had to work really hard to earn money and that she was really poor was fantastic.

3.         Angelina Jolie is in my top five list because in her movie Tomb Raider, she did an amazing job. Her ability to wield a gun and be able to do a lot of stunts, sometimes without a stuntwoman, was incredible.

4.         Emma Stone is in my top five list because in her epic falling scene in The Amazing Spider-Man was very believable. Her intense moments were so powerful that it made me believe that that character was real.

5.         Chloe Bennet is in my top five list because she is great in AGENTS OF S.H.E.I.L.D. This woman’s acting as a hacker and a spy makes you really think that she can do these abilities. Her “in-pain” scene is fantastic and her acting is fabulous.

 

 

Everybody has their opinion about a lot of things, especially actresses. This is just my opinion. These actresses have been in my mind since the very beginning, they were in my top five list for a reason. The reason is that they are great.   

Dancing to the top by Daria Q.

Dancing to the Top

Dancing is something one can do forever. The day I stop dancing, is the day watermelon stops tasting good.  These are the dance moves that have grabbed my heart!

 

1.    The Firebird Leap. It’s my number one because I have always wanted to do a Fire Bird, haven't I? No. But that's ok because I just love the dance move! In order to perfect the move, do a scorpion and add a leap!  I love to do scorpions, a flexible move where your leg curls backwards towards your head.

2.   The Fish Flop. The reason why it's number two is because I like to do the splits. (If you know me, you should know that.) In the Fish Flop you are doing the splits, just in a backwards summersault. 

3.  The Russian. I don’t amazingly like the Russian, but I also really do love it, that’s why it’s not my number one! I really love to do the splits, that’s why most of the things I have as my top five favorite dance moves involve doing the splits. The Russian is doing the middle splits except you just jump right into it, so it's really fun!

 

4.  Side Leap. The Side Leap is a Russian, just in a leap version. You will do two low runs, and then after your second run, you will give yourself a big push and leap into the air like a Russian.  Then land and turn around and do it again! I didn’t put it before the Russian, because the Side Leap isn’t as fun as the Russian.

 

5.   Punch Leap. The Punch Leap, isn’t that fun, but you do the splits in it. (It's a leap- all leaps are splits). Instead of doing a normal Leap, I did Punch Leap because, when you Leap, you will punch your arms down! So it’s more fun for me.

    Those are the dance moves that have grabbed my heart. Have they grabbed yours?
