Super Subjects!

By Kai Overell & Defne Barcin

We polled 3rd to 5th grade at E.H.B. asking what was their favorite subject in school. Unsurprisingly, specials got the most votes and reading the least.

One thing about our experience polling is that we enjoyed learning other people's opinions. We went through 3rd to 5th grade surveying.

“I enjoyed hearing the funny and wonderful stories at read-aloud,” says Avigail Schieber, Gr. 3, who chose reading.

“I chose specials because I enjoy being surprised and learning new things outside the usual,” says Lucas Paula, Gr. 3.

Interestingly, reading & writing likings went down as kids got older. Specials likings went up as kids got older. Math got more likings as younger grades were interviewed.

We think specials wins because many kids want a break from school work and specials classes are different every day. We think reading is last because lots of school children dislike reading and reflecting as the element of excitement and anticipation isn’t as present.
