ALL ABOUT MS. DE LA SOTA
I love to read. My favorite book is The Hunger
Games , By: Suzanne Collins
I have a pet bird, his name is Ozzy.
My favorite subject to teach is science. I especially
enjoy the topic of matter!
When I was younger I wanted to be an actress
because I loved watching movies and acting them
out!
*Later when we do our About Me first day
assignment I will learn all about you!!
