  2. Hi my name is Alexander. My favorite subject in school has to be mathematics, I love math because it is such an important life skill to be able to know, and I just love to work with numbers. My favorite book right now is The Making of a Navy Seal. I love this because because it just tells the person reading the book what the navy actually goes through, and why we should appreciate them. The book is overall amazing and I would really recommend it. My favorite genre is probably non-fiction because, it tells the reader what happened in the real world, and I never knew some of the things I read in them. My goal for blogging is to read other students blogs and see information about something interesting they are doing.

He loves it and when he graduates this spring he can go straight into the Navy without having to do basic training since he has done training every summer and one weekend each month..great program if you want to check it out!

    2. MATH ROCKS!!! Give that kid an A! I think "Number the Stars" is great at helping students your age understand a time that we didn't live that should not EVER be forgotten. We need to learn from its lesson.
      I also had a Beagle....his name was SNOOPY! Once in awhile I will wear a sweater to school with him on it :) I wish you luck with your new blog!!
