Philip recalls his favorite assignment from Mrs. Smith where students had to research a person and present about them in a garage band group. His favorite memory was a third grade Christmas party where they drank hot cocoa and watched The Polar Express, getting to keep their mugs. He enjoyed the history and memories at AO Elementary where both his brothers also attended, and liked the field trips and learning games. He advises upcoming fifth graders that the teachers will ensure they do the right thing so they should as well to fit in.

2. My Favorite Assignment My favorite assignment was the assignment Mrs.Smith gave us when we had to pick a person and become the expert on that person. Then we got in a group and created a garage band to tell about that person and other people that had to do with why your person is famous!

3. My Favorite Memory My favorite memory was when we had a Christmas party in third grade.We drank hot cocoa and ate candy canes while watching The Polar Express! When the party was over we actually got to keep the mug we used for our hot chocolate!

4. Things I Like About AO AO has so many memories and so much history. Both of my brothers and I went to AO but unfortunately I was the last Kowalski to go to AO. The field trips are awesome and the games we use for learning are the best! I think the teachers we have are the best teachers a kid could have!

5. Advice To Upcoming Fifth Graders The teachers in fifth grade are perfect but they will make sure you do the right thing. So if you are an upcoming fifth grader just do the right thing and you will fit right in!
