Thank you for visiting us at our school. I am amazed by how you guys make math so easy. I am beginning to like math very much. I appreciate the pencil, folder, and all the goodies. Yesterday, I showed my mom what you had taught me. She was surprised.

Now, I am going to tell you about me. I am 10 years old and my parents are from El Salvador. I have four sisters and one brother. My favorite food is "rellenos." My favorite subjects are math and science. My favorite movie is "The Sound of Music." My favorite book is The Midnight Train and my favorite friends are you guys.
