Carlos+J.'s+Introduction+and+Goals



__All About Me__   Who is the coolest 5 th Grader at Saticoy school? Well, it is not me. I am Carlos Just, a fifth grader at Saticoy School. My room number is 2, and my teachers names are Mrs. Geib and Mr. Wulff. I am happy I got these teachers this year because they do fun things like building and launching rockets, making a blog, and lots more. If we behave, that is. Well, let’s get down to business. I am 10 and I like to play baseball. I play for Saticoy Little League. My favorite color is blue because it is the color of the Dodgers and the Yankees. I also like football and next year I want to sign up for the Ventura Packers. Another of my hobbies is making stop-motion animation videos using Digital Blue technology. I also would like to learn how to make stop motion animation movies using a digital camera. I need to tell you about my family. My family is me,Fiona,Karin and Nacho. I also have 3 pets: a Betta fish named Joey,a Hamster named Trixie and a Chihuahua named Rico. I have two good friends their names are Evan and Joshua. Joshua goes to Blanche Reynolds school but we have known each other since we were born. I need to work on math because I am still learning how to do long division. I like to play Timez Attack and I probably will e-mail the Big Brains company to suggest a similar long division game. My favorite subjects are reading and P.E. Some of my favorite things to read are: the Percy Jackson series, the Harry Potter series and the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. I just finished Boom by Mark Haddon. It is a sci-fi book and, even though it started out weird, I liked it a lot. My favorite P.E. games are two-hand touch when we're allowed to (never) and baseball (which we're allowed to). So far I am having a good start in 5 th grade. Last year I had a really bumpy start, but I don't really want to tell you about that. Hopefully, this year is going to be different. In the future I see myself as a baseball player. But I have to be good. That is why I play in Little League so I can improve my skills. I might also want to play football professionally in the NFL. One of my academic goals is to go to Notre Dame University or UCLA to go to medical school. If I don't play in the NFL or MLB I want to be a surgeon and replace people's knees with metal knees like my Uncle Hank had done. That’s why I work hard so I can aply for a scholarship. One of my personal goals is to be better than Mark Teixera but that will be very hard. Now you know about me. See you at school.

 **Reader Feedback** Carlos, Have you ever been to a major league baseball game? If you have which stadium, who won the game? What are the names of the animals? What school does Joshua go to? What is your favorite book to read? What about 4th grade was so "bumpy"? Do you know which college you would like to go to? If you could go back in and answer these questions for me that would be great! -Heather L.

Hi Carlos! Your page is looking EXCELLENT and I fixed your picture. Could you separate your family info into a separate paragraph and tell me in more detail about your goals? Tell more more about what you like to read and what P.E. games you enjoy. Your writing is great, I just want to know more about you! Fantastic job! --Mrs. Geib  Students: Give positive feedback/constructive criticism here!
