Welcome to our Class, Ms. Carroll!

Hi! My name is Lauren Cassella, but you can call me Lauren. I came from James Monroe Elementary School. Outside of school I like playing sports like soccer and basketball. I like middle school because if you don't like a teacher, you are only with them one period unlike in elementary school where you are with them the entire day. I like both reading and writing in English, but I find reading to be easier.What I don't like about english is when the whole class reads the same book. The reason I don't like this is because sometimes you don't like the book your class is reading. My strengths are reading books quickly and writing stories. However, I usually do better with writing and reading if I am interested in the topic. My weaknesses are writing essays about boring topics.
Now, I should explain our english class. First, we look at the wipe-off board in the front of the classroom at where it say "Do Now".  Under "Do Now" its lists the activities to do soon as we enter the classroom, which usually consists taking the papers from the round table and completing a gramer sheet. We have writing the first  period of english. At 12:30 we go to break. After break ends, we start the second period of english, reading. I find reading our independent reading books and writing stories about topics we choose fun. Although I think that is fun, I don't think writing essays are fun in any way.
