Sally Reyes
Guess what my favorite subject is in school? I like P.E. That is my favorite subject. I like P.E. because it’s fun and competitive. P.E. is a time to have fun with friends and staying healthy.
Click, click, click. Another subject I like in school is computer lab. I feel relaxed just sitting down, ready to listen, and ready to start my assignment or activity. I’m always ready to go in class, too, but like I said, we’re talking about computer lab. School can be hard work, but some subjects can be fun. So I’ve told you my favorite subject. Tell me yours.

Maria Beas
First of all, I don’t have a favorite subject, I like too many!
One of them is math. I love taking five-minute times tests. You have to finish 100 multiplication problems in five minutes. I love getting back tests to see what I got!
I also love science, because you learn something new every day. My favorite part is when they bring in animals and tell us what they do.
I especially love art, because you get to express your feelings. When you’re happy you can paint a flower or a rainbow. If you’re upset or angry, paint a thundercloud with lightning. I guess you get the idea. Well, anyway, thank you for reading my story. Hey, reading. That’s another subject I like.
