5th Grade GT 2019-2020
Encino Park Elementary
5th Grade GT 2019-2020
5th Grade GT 2019-2020
During 5th grade GT, we studied many things during the year such as Hands on Equations, influential individuals, utopia, The Giver, and philosophers and philosophy.
While the first half of the year was normal, little did we know that after Spring Break we would not return due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our last day of in-class learning at Encino Park was Friday, March 6th. Never did I imagine that our lives would change so drastically because of COVID-19. Distance learning became the norm with online learning through Google Classroom and Seesaw. While it was less than ideal, I am thankful for the technology and especially our weekly Zoom meetings.
I created this book for you so that we could remember our fifth grade GT class, celebrate our learning, and reflect on our year. Even though we did not get to end the school year in the traditional way, I want you to know how proud I am of each of you. Our class is very special to me, whether you were in my class for 6 years or 1 year. Your laughter, jokes, smiles, and positive attitudes have been amazing and especially during the school closure. I know that great things await you at middle school next year and I am thankful to have watched you grow!
Please enjoy this book, remember the positive memories, and be thankful for the wonderful school year we had.
Love,
Mrs. Chandler

"Mayberry" by Rascall Flats
It explains how there is so much stress and technology and pressure to get things done sometimes so it's nice to get away into nature and do something more simple.

"Change your thoughts and you change your world."
-Norman Vincent Peal
I chose this quote because it tells how much just changing your mindset can make a difference for better or for worse. It puts into perspective how much of your happiness your in control of and although you can't control it completely you might not understand how much control of your happiness you are in.

We all make mistakes and sometimes were unforgiving but I think that we should not be quick to judge and give them a second chance.
Artistic
I love to make art. I love to be creative. I practice a lot and I love to improve. I like to make things other people can enjoy.

"Stay Humble Hustle Hard"
- Coach Erine and Coach Heather
This was the theme of my gym last year. It was a quote my coach used to inspire and encourage us. To me, being kind is one of the most important things. Being humble is a way to be kind. It’s putting others first and yourself second. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be proud of what you can do, it just means not bragging about it.
The second part of the quote is about working hard and knowing what you are capable of doing so you have a reward. The reward is about recognizing hard work and inspiring others to do their best.
In gymnastics, I have to work hard to find out what more I can do as a gymnast. And, also, hustling hard shows how I grew stronger in the process. It requires getting up over and over again to do the same things over and over again to learn and get better. Once I go to a meet, I can encourage other gymnasts by showing them if I can do it, they can too.
You can’t give up on the sport. One day you will have to compete at the skill. You have to practice. It’s humbling to move from one skill to the other because you can’t magically just do a clear-hip handstand on the high bar. You have to hustle hard and practice to get better.
Our coach chose this because she wants us to get better and it is a life lesson. If you want to be successful, you have to hustle hard and stay humble.
That’s why I choose this as an inspiring quote. I can win an event or win at a meet, but unless I’m humble and I’ve hustled hard in the gym, the win alone doesn’t show who you are. My value comes from being kind and not from the medals and awards.
