If you could change something in school that would help you be a better student, what would that  be?

In the back you can’t hear anything and some of the other boys throw stuff and spit stuff and it hits you hit in the head.

What kind of books do you prefer to read?  Do you have favorite titles and/or authors?

I read comic books and Hank the CowDog. I used to more read Goosebumps, and my teacher said should look at other stuff in the library, too. There are some good motorcross magazines with cool bikes where they’re doing flips with the helmets on. I could never do anything like that.

If it’s really hard I ask for help, but most of the time I just stick it in my backpack and think about it tomorrow.

What is the hardest thing about school?

When the teacher calls on you and you don’t know the answer.  Or when you get in trouble.

Please bring six books next week that you really like that would give me an idea about what kind of a reader you are.

What topic would you like to learn more about?  Any topic, not just school topics.

I don’t know. I like vampires and stuff like that. And zombies. I shoot them when I play with my dad.

Please write for 10 min. about your school and what a new student should know about, to be safe and happy.  It is usually hard for new kids to be included.  How could they go about meeting and making friends?

Everybody is gonna look at you at first, and some kids will pick on you. At first, you will feel really weird around all the other kids. You need to get the teacher to help cause you don’t have any good friends yet. When you are in your classes you’ll set next to some kid and start talkin’ and then you’ll be best friends and you’ll have someone to help look out for you. It’s not that bad if you’re not mean. The girls talk a lot. And they laugh a lot. And some of the boys are funny in class and it gets you in trouble and your mom’s always getting called. So you have to make sure that you don’t get mad at everybody all the time ‘cause the fights. And you don’t want to be new and fight everybody. So just get a good friend and get your parents to help on your work for home. And the teachers are mean if you argue or yell.
