Class of 2018

When I was born, my sister wanted to name me Cookie. They still call me Cookie at home.

Mrs. Stryker and Mrs.Kirschenbaum are good teachers. We have imaginary thinking hats we wear in class.

My favorite sports are basketball and soccer. I want to play those sports in Middle School.

I came to McLean in Kindergarten. I remember when I fi rst came they had me count with a ball. It had numbers on it so I would have to turn it over to see which number it was. My friends think I’m fun and crazy—but crazy good!

I’m a good friend because I help tie my friends’ shoes. Or if they lose track on a page in class, or are on the wrong page, I’ll turn it to the right page.

I’m really good at science.

I want to learn how to read bigger words in reading. I’m going to Middle School in September. It will be fun and hard.

I am learning a lot at McLean because of the teachers. I think I might go to college to learn how to teach science.
