Jadah: Yes, I have a sister named Elise and a brother named Christian.
Mrs. R: What is your favorite thing to do?Jadah: SWIM!
Mrs. R: Do you have any pets? Jadah: Yes, I have a boxer named Keko.
Mrs. R: What is your favorite subject?
Jadah: History (she's great at it too, by the way!)
Mrs. R: What is your favorite food to eat? Jadah: Egg rolls
Mrs. R: What is your favorite color?
Jadah: Purple
Mrs. R:  Who's your favorite teacher?  (alright, I made that one up!)
