Today Hillary and I are beginning with the students. We have a bright-eyed and bushy tailed group! It is going to be fun. Meet our students and enjoy their very first writing introductions.....
Yessenia........
The way I feel about writing is that in my opinion I think it could be very personal.
To me it’s like having a diary of yourself. I like to learn about the news because
it is very interesting. I would have to say that the most thing that surprised me was
how all the hurricanes hit different states. Writing could be fun to me. The only way
writing could be fun to me is if I’m interested in what I am writing.
Paulina........
My name is Paulina and I am 11 years old. I am in Mrs. Mahan’s class. My favorite subjects are music and science. I think that those subjects are very interesting. Some people may say that learning is fun others may say that is boring. Even though people say it’s boring I think that learning is very important because if you didn’t learn you wouldn’t know anything. In order to live you have to know things because people aren’t born with knowledge. It is also important that you know what’s going all around the world. That is why learning current events are also important, and not just to learn but some current events are really interesting you may even end up liking them, so give learning a try.

I will tell you about what I’m learning and what I already know. I am trying to learn about what I can do to get better grades in Math, Science, Social Studies, Grammar, Reading, and Spelling. I want to learn about being one of the best soccer players in the world. Also, I wish to learn about writing a book.
I already know about The Quiz Bowl, my friend and I participated in it while I was in 4th grade. Marcos went crazy when we answered the questions to the competition. We always got 2nd; at first I thought it was going to be fun. At the end, I hated it just as much as I hate cats. I also want to learn about the history about the past like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Lewis & Clark.

I do a lot of things after school. I like thinking about that new plant that was found. I enjoy talking about our solar system.
Writing to me is boring but, I like to express my feelings. It is fun to just dive into journal time. When I am not writing, I am expressing my feelings verbally.

I LOVE to play softball. My father (who just happens to be my coach) says that I am very good at what I do. People tell me all the time that I am very, very good at singing.
