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 like to be a farm? Why or why not?


Kenyon: Yes, to help the world.


Malayna: No, I wouldn’t like to be a farmer because you would get durt under your nails, bend down, feed the animals, water the plants, make new crops, I think that would be tireing.


Gage: I would not like to be a farmer because I would have to pick up animal poop.


Ashton: I will be a farmer. I will milk the cows.


Alex: Yes, to take care of animals.
