Elysa Ryan is a 5^TH grader who loves fifth grade!!!!  She loves rotating classes, sitting in booths during lunch and so on and so forth. She really loves all of her teachers!!!!  She loves the reading, the writing, the math, the science, and language arts. She also loves the “subjects” recess and lunch.  Like any ordinary kid, she has ups and downs (like having P.E. after lunch) but mostly she enjoys everything!!!  Wow, that grade sounds fantastic.  I can’t wait for fifth grade!
