Hello, Everyone!

My name is Alex, and I am excited to introduce myself to you. I am 10 years old and I am in Grade 5. Every
day, I come to school ready to learn new things. I usually wake up at 6:30 AM, eat breakfast, and then I walk to
school with my little brother.

At school, I like to learn about science. My favorite subject is science because I enjoy doing experiments and
discovering new things. I always bring my science notebook to class, and I ask questions when I do not
understand something. I am very curious and like to learn about how things work.

After school, I play soccer with my friends. I am on the school soccer team, and I practice every day. Soccer is
my favorite sport because it keeps me active and I enjoy working as a team. I also love to read books about
adventure. I usually read before bed and imagine myself in exciting places.

I am very friendly and I like to help others. If you need any help with your homework or just want to talk, I am
always here. I am excited to be in this class and to make new friends. Thank you for listening to my
introduction!
