First-class subjects

The Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot went to El Morro Elementary School

and asked fifth-grade “Math Star” GATE students: “What is your

favorite subject?”

“Math, because I’m really good with numbers -- adding,

subtracting, multiplication, division -- and we’re learning

geometry.”

LUKE BARKER, 11

“Math, because I think it’s my strongest subject.”

CHASE CORNELL, 10

“Math. I think it’s from last year. We did a lot of math, and I

started to like it.”

LAURA OTSU, 10

“My favorite subject is probably language arts. I like writing and

reading.”

BELINDA HYLAND, 10

“Social studies. I like the history of America, how the colonies

were settled and going west with the adventures of Lewis and Clark.”

ALEX IANNOTTI, 11
