6th grade project - Cultural Traditiions



A tradition that I and my family do is called Diwali. Diwali means “row of lighted lamps”. Diwali is the holiday that happens every year during October or November and is 4 days long. Diwali is a tradition in which we decorate lights on our houses. Every time on Diwali, we go to the temple and stay there for 2 hours. We also buy sweets. Diwali is a cultural holiday celebrated in India and my family and I celebrates this tradition every year.




Diwali originated because people celebrated after a good harvest with lights. During Diwali, people light fireworks and light oil lamps. People started this tradition long ago, at 700 B.C in India, and had repeated this tradition ever since.


I think Diwali is required since there should be a day when people celebrate after doing hard work. Diwali also lasts a lot of time. I think Diwali, the festival of lights does all that. It is meaningful to me and my family since I like seeing all the decorations on Diwali. I also like Diwali since people will light up fireworks. I like Diwali since there is a lot of noise during all the days of Diwali. We go to temples and do decorations around our house.

Time Capsule - 6th Grade Project



Time Capsule



Dear Future Me,


I am writing to say some things and ask some things. Today is the fourth day of sixth grade. On the first day of school, I did not know how to get from one class to another. However during the second day, I learned how to get to my classes. I also learned how to use my lock for my locker on day 3 so I can prepare on how to use my locker on Monday.On Monday, we will start putting our stuff in lockers. We will also have to start changing at school on Monday since we have to wear P.E clothes for P.E. We also have to reach classes in 4 minutes. Lunch Break is 30 minutes for eating and playing. Classes are 45 minutes on normal days. School usually ends at 3:00 pm.On minimum days, classes are 30 minutes, lunch is 20 minutes, and school ends at 1:40 pm. I am expecting I can get to all my classes in time.


One goal I am hoping to achieve is to always turn my homework in time and get good grades. I also want to reach class in time.Another goal I am trying to achieve is to get A or A plus in all subjects except P.E and Art. I also do not want to get any F’s or D’s.


From,


Me
