My school is at Isanti Elementary District 911. In physical education class we sometimes play games, or do tests like pushups, sit-ups and toe touches. My favorite subject is math. In math we are in multiplication and division. Our principal is Ms. Stueve. The five teachers are Mrs. Coleman, Mrs. Pierson, Ms. Roepke, Ms. Schmitz and Jill and Joan Anderson. They are great teachers. I like them all.
