Kids Say…

Every week we ask five students from a local school to answer a question on a worksheet.

This week the students are second graders at St. Joseph Grade School. This post is sponsored by Longview Bank.


Would you want to be a farmer?


Carson: I would like to be a farmer because I would take care of farm animals.


Kebe: Yes, I would because my gramps is a farmer and because of the horses and the cute other animals. Thank you for asking!


Addison: I would want to be a farmer because I like takin care of animals.


Ainsley: I would not like to be a farmer because it is hard work.


Reagan: I would rather not work and be a frmar.
