August 27, 2008 at 6:06 pmMy favorite subject in middle school was English. I loved reading all those classic books. I also loved home economics (I don’t even think they have that anymore.) I still remember making donuts and decorating cakes. I am still proud of my guitar pillow that I sewed, especially now that they are so in style.
Jenny E says
August 27, 2008 at 6:07 pmI loved math, but mostly because I had a great teacher who made the class fun.

August 27, 2008 at 6:07 pmMy favorite part of the day was recess or silent reading. I loved when we could read any book we wanted and just hang out around the room.

August 27, 2008 at 6:29 pmMy favorite subject by far was debate – not just because of the subject itself but because my teacher was awesomely inspiring…teaching us the process and value of independent thought!

dani smith says
August 27, 2008 at 6:31 pmHmm…just one favorite subject? I think I would need to choose science. I loved learning about the world around me, especially about the habitats and animals and how every living thing interacts with one another. I learned very early on how our actions impact the rest of the world around us, my 3rd grade teacher had me recycling early on!
Tiffany says
August 27, 2008 at 6:39 pmFrom the day I learned how to read that was my favorite thing about school–reading! I also loved art and did tons of my own arts and crafts projects at home.

Becky says
August 27, 2008 at 7:00 pmI really loved art. It was so exciting to see what projects our teacher had come up with each class and I always felt a tremendous sense of accomplishment because it had a definite ending. My grandfather was an artist and it’s exciting to see my own daughter also throwing herself into art projects.
Kelly says
August 27, 2008 at 7:05 pmHmm – I loved reading but I think I liked my computer classes the best – something about creating a program that worked was so fulfilling. I’m not gonna date myself by telling you what we programmed in though. 😉

Leslie says
August 27, 2008 at 10:23 pmBy far, my favorite subject was science! I’d say that math came second. Unfortunately, I didn’t really enjoy art and music because I’m not artistically inclined AT ALL.
Maria says
August 27, 2008 at 11:14 pmReading and more reading – I was addicted to books and getting lost in stories and now as a teacher I am trying to instill the love of stories in my students as well as my daughter.

August 28, 2008 at 7:19 amI loved my senior physics class! I was the ONLY female student in the class along with 8 boys. With such an odd number, my lab partner was the only other female in the class, the teacher. And yes, I got an A that year. 🙂
