Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love,the things you are,
the things you never want to lose.
~From the television show The Wonder Years
Fifth Grade was a big year for me. The summer before my 5th grade year we moved, which meant a new town, new school and new friends. I remember being so sad that we were moving and I had to leave my best friends behind, however I also remember once I got to the new area...it wasn't that bad.
Here are a few questions for you to answer.....maybe these will spark some fond memories or possibly some will surface that you are trying to forget. Either way...WRITE IT Down.

Who was your teacher?
Who were some of your best friends?
Who were the cute boys in 5th grade? Or did you even notice?
