Welcome to our class, Ms. Carroll

Hi Ms. Carroll and welcome to Herbert Hoover Middle School.  You are in for a big surprise from your new students.  My name is Matthew and I'm in the sixth grade, which you probably already know.  I am the youngest child in my family and the last one to go through HHMS.  I like to play video games, ride my bike, and lately I've been shoveling a lot of snow!  I take the bus to school and if you go to an earlier post you will read that I don't like to ride the school bus.  I have a good sense of humor and sometimes that gets me into trouble.  I do need to be reminded to stay on task.  I can also be a chatterbox, which is what my mother calls me.  I don't like to do a lot of homework so please don't assign any. 

At home, I have a puppy named Coco.  My mother named her after Coco Chanel.  I would have named her Snowball because she is all white.  My older brother, Mike, enlisted in the Army and leaves for Fort Sill, Oklahoma on February 14.  My other brother, Chris, is in ninth grade at Edison High School.  My dad sells cars and my mom is an English teacher at Edison High School.

Here in class we have many things to keep us busy.  We are studying about jobs and careers now.  We have been taking tests to see which jobs we would be good at.  I found out that I would be a good federal law enforcement agent.  In class, sometimes it is noisy and sometimes we are quiet.  We have to be quiet when we are taking tests and working on the computers.  Sometimes we get off topic and then we get too noisy.  I think you will like our class.  We are energetic and social.  But we always get our work done.

I hope you enjoy your stay at Herbert Hoover and you learn a lot about being a teacher and about us.  Good luck!

  1. Great post, Matt! You made me laugh with many of your comments; I especially liked the timeliness of your comment, "I like to play video games, ride my bike, and lately I've been shoveling a lot of snow!" I think Miss Carroll will learn a lot about you with this post and I too agree with your statement that your class is energetic and soical, yet always is able to get their work done. Great job!

  2. Nice blog post, Matt. That was very fun. It is cool you have a puppy named Coco named after Coco Chane. The part about Chatterbox was funny too. I like how this post gives the reader an idea of who you are. I think Miss Carroll wont have trouble getting to know you. I also want to be a federal law enforcement agent becuase I am good at solving mysteries in books and on TV so I think that is a good choice. One way you could improve this post is by maybe telling more about how the class works but otherwise this is your best post so far.
