First Day of School - 4th Grade

Today is the first day of school.  I'm in the 4th grade and my teacher's name is Mrs. Strand.  She seems great so far.  She calls us scholars and refers to us as scholars.  It is a technology based class so all our homework and schoolwork uses google classroom.  This is going to be an interesting year because I am in a 4th/5th grade combo class and we are a GATE class.  It's overwhelming to be in class with 5th graders and we have a lot of homework.  Plus I am no longer in class with my best friend Roland.  Recess will be with 4th graders so I will still see Roland, but lunch is with 5th/6th graders so I will not see my old friends.  I'm going to make new friends with the kids in my class.  It will be challenging but I am up for the challenge.  I'm excited for all the fun adventures that will take place this year.
