Do you celebrate any special holidays or have special traditions in your family?
Christmas, big birthdays, 3 kings day. 3 kings day is fun because we put our clothes under the tree in the
morning, just one clothes, and in the morning, if we’re good, 3 kings bring us toys. Celebramos cinco de mayo
además de otras días festivos. My mom cooks tamales and tortillas too.
Um, we make some Mexican traditions. We make food and play games and invite people over. Its weird, my favorite food is pizza.
What do you like to do for fun?
Me gusta jugar futbol y futbol Americana, y juego con mi hermano tambien.
I like to play soccer or do math.
Do you enjoy reading and writing time? Why or why not?
Yes, because In reading I learn a lot of things. And in writing time, I like writing about many things.
I like writing about funny and scary topics.
Yes. I like writing because you can write about something that happened, or something
like that. I like reading because you can take tests and learn more.
What is your favorite book and why?
I like to read Adventure time. But there's a lot I like. I like that book because it shows
courageous and adventurous.
Diary of the Whimpy kid of something Truth...... It’s the purple book! I like it because I like a part
from Rodrick and he always gets them in trouble when they didn’t do nothing.
What is your favorite subject and why?
My favorite subject in school is gym because we get to have fun!
My favorite subject is math because it’s fun. My favorite part is multiplication.
Sometime we do math wars. The team goes up and whoever gets the answers correct
wins. We play around the world too!
What is your least favorite subject and why?
CCC Lab. That's when we go to the computers and do math and reading. I mean, I like the math
part, but not the reading.
Reading. Because sometimes I get lost in the book, and I don’t understand it. I have read books in
Spanish, but only a couple times. I do it when I have to help my dad with something for his work.
Do you have a favorite teacher?
His current teacher is his favorite teacher.
Her current teacher is her favorite teacher.
If you could change one thing about school, classes, or subjects covered in school, what would it be?
I would add two hours more for recess!!!!
I would make more technology in the school for the kids to learn.
