Math is my favorite sub­
ject. Math is fun, and can be
very challenging. Math is my
best subject. Math is used in
most jobs, like com puter tech­
nician which is w hat I’ll be. In
our grade at this school some
kids that are very good at math
are in a group that can go
ahead in the math book, higher
than everyone else. This group
is fun, because you can move
at a faster pace. Math will be
used alm ost everyw here you
go.

There are many am using
subjects in school but none as
exciting as math. M ath is the
basis o f every hum an’s life. It
helps you unlock the doors to
the future. It can be used in
almost everything you can think
of. It can be used in many
sports, alm ost every subject,
and even learning how to tie
your shoe. W here you get a
job it will probably involve
math. The only career that won’t
involve math is working at
McDonalds.

My favorite subject is art.
A rt is fun and relaxing and it
shows talents in some people.
It helps them to be creative
but still serious about what
they are doing. In som e ways
it seem s like a recess since
it’s not quite like work. It’s
like T.V . but you’re the one
who is being creative and
making the pictures. A rt is a
great su b ject

My favorite subject is
Creative W riting. It’s my fa­
vorite, because I love to write
stories. You can write anything
that you want, but it must be
able to go with the heading,
and you can exaggerate in your
story. Some o f the stories are
really fun to do.
Christina Peterson
I like many subjects, but
I think if I had to pick a favor­
ite subject, it would be math.
I like math because it’s fun
and exciting. It’s one of the
subjects that can give me some
challenge. It teaches more new
things than other subjects. I
also think math is more useful
than other subjects. It teaches
things that can be used in many
future careers. Also you need
to know math even if you
aren’t going to have a career.

My favorite subject in
school is Social Studies. It is
my favorite subject because
you can leam other nations’
customs and beliefs. I also like
Social Studies because you can
leam about ancient history. I
like learning about the explor­
ers and their travels.

My favorite subjectisart.
I like art because art is a lot of
fun if you put your mind to it,
and if you are good at it. Art
can be alot of fun because
there are so many different
kinds of art. There is painting,
drawing, sketching, but my
favorite is drawing.

Creative w riting is my
favorite subject. I like it be­
cause I like to w rite letters to
my brother, and I like to write
3 or 4 page stories. I think
schools should have more crea­
tive writing classes. W e have
it on Thursdays at 2:30. My
mom said that I should write
books when I grow up but I
d o n ’t want to. I just plainly
like to write.
Denae Marshall
The reason I like math
the most, is because I like to
challenge with numbers. Math
is challenging but I like to
deal with challenges. W hen I
grow up what I’m going to be
has to do with math. Math
have been my favorite sub­
ject ever since 1 began Pre­
school!
Jynnefer Jack
My favorite subject is
math. I like math because it is
a fun way to challenge your
mind. I think math helps you
enhance your thinking skills
for other things. Math is also
really fun! I think math is a
very good thing to have in the
business world. Math can be
m ind boggling sometimes and
sometimes it’s easy. Math is
my best subject and I like it
too.

TRICK OR TREAT - SAFETY FIRST!
_
W hat comes every year, thrills kids o f all ages and w orries parents and
motorists? It’s Halloween (October 31). Parents can m inimize risk by making sure
their trick-or-treating youngsters follow safety tips, says Jill Maire Pcrucc, staff
writer nd speakers’ bureau coordinator for W estern Insurance Information Service
(WHS).
Smart parents can assure a safe and fun Halloween by accompanying their
children around the neighborhood. If your children are older and not guided by an
adult, instruct them to visit only homes where they know they’ll be welcome. “ IF
the house is dark and uninviting, tell the kids to stay away, Perucca suggests.
Parents should warn children to stay on sidewalks and tocross streets carefully.
It’s also a good idea to put reflective tape on costumes and trick-or-treat bags and
to arrange for youngster to go out in groups rather than individually.
At home, leave your porch light on once it is dark. It will be a signal that you
welcome trick-or-treaters and it also will help to brighten the neighborhood.
Perucca warns motorists to watch out for children. “ Motorists need to
remember that kids may be distreted by all the costum es and candy.” Perucca urges
motorists to drive slowly in residential areas and to honk their horns on dimly lit
streets to let children know they’re coming. Drivers also need to watch out for
y w ngsters crossing against the light, darting from between parked cars and walk­
ing in the street, she adds.
Your insurance com panies through WHS offer trick-or-treaters the following
safety tips:
WEAR A SAFE COSTUME:
> Your costume should be easy to see, flame retardant and allow easy m ove­
ment.
> W ear shoes that fit well and feel good - heavy boots, high heels and large
clown feet could cause a fall.
> Make sure that ccessories such as large hats, wigs or beards do not impari
vision.
SEE AND BE SEEN:
>■ Reflective tape worn on both sides o f your costum e can help motorist sec
v n u n T n iP V H D T D T A T rD Ç
SUPERVISE
YOUR TRICK-OR-TREATERS:
>• Have a parent or older sibling supervise kids on their treat route.
>• Always travel in groups, walk on sidewalks (never in the streets) and cross
only at crosswalks.
> D on’t allow kids to eat any treats before they get home.
>■ Check sidewalks, porches and steps. A stray toy or tool could trip a
costumed child.
TREAT TIPS:
>• As kids collect treats, they may be tempted to sample some sweets before
reaching home. To help curb their hunger and stop snacking, serve an early dinner.
>■ Carefully check all goodies - throw away unwrapped ro loosely wrapped
been added.
