The Daily Pilot went to Victoria Elementary School in Costa Mesa and

asked kids: “What is the most interesting thing you’ve learned in school

so far this year?”

“In science class, we’re growing lima beans. We planted them the

second week of school, and we water them every day. It’s neat watching

them grow.”

Holly Norgan, 7

Costa Mesa

“Talking about racism. It’s interesting because of what happened Sept.

11; it’s kind of scary.”

Megan Weir, 11

Costa Mesa

“A science experiment of a volcano. You put five spoonfuls of baking

soda and vinegar and hot lava comes out. When volcanoes explode, there’s

always rocks that get out. When the dinosaurs lived, there were lots of

them, a lot more than now.”

Philippe Noel, 5

Costa Mesa

“Long division. It’s nice because now I know how to do it. There’s

more numbers in long division than little division.”

Edward Andrade, 9

“I’m learning how to speak Spanish. I like the teacher, the classroom

and the school.”
