What’s it like being a fourth grader?
Sometimes it’s difficult, but sometimes it’s actually easy, because they actually teach us a lot in this school. I’ve been learning a lot since I came to the school. It’s a really great school, to be honest.

Your brother is in sixth grade; what’s it like to go to school with your brother?
We go in the same car. We don’t really talk in the car. We really just like, look out and see if we’re at CJA yet.

It’s really great because I’ve learned cooking, doing more art and also getting stronger with sports.

Wow – cooking! Are you in Culinary Arts Club?

It’s all of these fruits for Christmas. It’s from Mexico.

What’s your favorite subject and why?
I would say Math because I’m really good at Math. I like the fractions and timesing… multiplying.

Social workers help teach social-emotional learning classes. What’s something you’ve learned this year?
I have learned about the zones. The green zone is like, happy, self controlled, calm. And I think the yellow zone is frustrated, wiggly and silly, and excited. And then the blue zone is like sad, tired.
