Hello! My name is Erik and I am 11 years old. I was born in February, 2000, in Kingston Hospital. I live with my mom, dad and my one year old dog Tsunni, in New Paltz which is a town about 80 miles north of New York City.I love to play sports. My favorite sport is baseball and I play it almost everyday but also I like Football, Basketball and Tennis. I started playing baseball when I was 6, basketball and tennis when I was 9 and football this year. I think they are all really fun. I played on three baseball teams this year and I played pitcher and catcher in all of them. My Favorite baseball team is the New York Yankees. They are the best baseball team ever!!! I like baseball so much that I started collecting cards. I have so many cards now that I don’t even know how many cards I have, but I am guessing a minimum of 1000 cards.I also like to scuba dive. I got my scuba diving certification over the summer break and went diving in Athens, Greece for a part of my vacation. It was very exciting because I saw soooooo many fish and coral. If I looked to one side of me, I would see so many fish and huge coral but if I looked the other way I would see absolutely nothing!
My favorite food is pasta with cheese or Fettuccine Alfredo. I say that the best place to get any kind of pasta in New Paltz is Rock de Pasta. It’s a very small place on Main St. that has not only the greatest pasta in the world but great seafood and chicken.
I go to a small school called PDS and have been going there since I was about 6 years old and in Kindergarten. My goal for this year as a student is to spell better and be more organized because in the past I have not been very good at those things but I am kind of getting better. My favorite subjects in school are Math, Science and P.E.
Dear Erik,
I really enjoyed reading what you wrote about yourself. I think we need to go to Rock Da Pasta again soon! You wrote that it is the best pasta in the world-wow!
I had fun meeting some of your teachers at curriculum night tonight.
