Name: David M.
Grade: 8
Teacher: Ms. Wayne
My name is David. I am in grade 8. I go to McNair Secondary. I am good at PE and Reading and Art, but I need help with Science, Math. When I have free time I like to watch movies and play video games.
Some things that help me are when people speak clear and not too fast. I also have a hard time when people are bossy to me.Other things that really help me are when I can sit near the front of the class. When I can have directions it helps if they can be repeated and if they are given to me one at a time, or if they are written as a list on the board.Sometimes I can’t see well so font that is large and dark help me. And if I am feeling tired I might need a break from that is hard.I work best when I am by myself or with one other person.
I like when my teachers have a sense of humour and tell me when I am doing a good job.
