Jack: My class seemed really good. My teacher seems really nice and like a good teacher. I think Arabic will hopefully be easy. I have Talib and Gun Ha in my class again. We have really big desks and could pick anywhere where we wanted to sit. I sit with Talib, Gun Ha and Adam. We have lunch and then recess, so you don't really want to do anything. I played soccer at recess with millions of people. Spanish seemed a little bit harder because we have a new teacher. I got to see Bader at recess. We have cubbies inside our classroom.
Megan: We got off the bus and the school bus rang, so we didn't have any time for walk and talk, we had to go directly to our classes. I dropped Kylie off at her line and then went to mine. We only had 5 girls in our class today and 9 boys. I found out a certain girl was only going to be in my class for 2 weeks before she moves, but she wasn't there today. We started off our day with choosing seats - we have to sit boy/girl/boy/girl. I sit with Tarek, Lara, Faud, Fawaz and Yoon Jae. My teacher had us come sit down on the rug and did morning meeting. We were supposed to ask the kid on your right what their name was and a one word description of how they were feeling. My one word was Excited. We talked about the class rules and school rules. We realized we never had snack, so we had to eat our snack with lunch. We had a new Spanish teacher, which surprised me, and Arabic was even crazier. We also had PE and we played dodgeball with a pushup start. I picked Kylie up from her class to walk her to the bus in the afternoon. My teacher seems okay, very organized. I haven't made up my mind yet on him. I'm very thankful Mom made tollhouse bars for when we got home!
Kylie: I like my teacher. She is very nice. She was not strict. She was a fun teacher. We got to make a small book and write about something we did this summer. I wrote "I went to two weddings" only I didn't know how to spell two and the teacher thought I meant "to". I had a really fun recess. I got to see all of my friends. I got to see James, Ahmed, Aws, Sami, Hanya and Luba. We just got out there for recess and there was just a little recess left. I got to run around with the boys - chase them and try to get them. And I like my friends. I like Spanish and I like Literacy (what she takes instead of Arabic). In Spanish I got to draw a snake because the teacher was teaching me how to say Snake. I like everything in my class and everything we do. I like math. Yousef E, maybe Rajaa, Amnah and Faye are all in my class from last year. I made friends with Sarah and another girl. The other part of my day was that I got to see the computer teacher. I didn't get to do her class today but I saw her. The bus ride was good in the morning and the afternoon.
