What do you like to do?

I love coloring and playing with toys. My favorite toys are LOL Surprise dolls and plushies. I also play Just Dance on the Wii. My favorite song to dance to is DARE by Gorillaz. At Christmas, I got a Dexcom for my diabetes. I really like it so far. I even did a presentation on Dexcom for school. I am also really into animatronics. I love going to Halloween stores and seeing the animatronics they have up. 

Do you have any siblings?

I have 2 older brothers. One of them likes to make DVDs of movies.

I love recess and gym. On the last day of school, we have a Hawaiian-themed party called a “Last Day Luau.” It is always a great time!

Ms. Nyielah because she is a great drawer. I also like Mr. Eli.

Gym or science. I’m not a huge fan of math or English language arts.
