I am seven years old. I have a mom and a dad. They come in handy. I like to jump rope and slouch in chairs. I am gifted at both, I believe. Some people say I have too much energy. I say I’m kangaroo bouncy.
my first grade teacher
Mrs. Arnold gives lots of homework, but comes up with some really fun things to do in the classroom too. She can also raise one eyebrow, which is hard to do. She is full of surprises.
another friend and classmate
I like Kayla because she is kangaroo bouncy like me. Plus she has blue eyes, also like me. She wears her blond hair in two little piggy tails. She likes ducks and can almost always make me smile.
my friend and neighbor and classmate. In that order.
Ryan is eight years old. He likes to tell jokes, chew bubblegum, play basketball, and burp. Super Cat is his favorite superhero. He also has a pet cat, but there is nothing super about her.
a classmate
Lynette is a shortie. Maybe that is why she always wears huge frilly hair bows. She’s also smart, and sometimes acts like a know-it-all. She has the neatest handwriting AND the neatest desk in the whole classroom.
