Nina's backpack and classroom
Hello! My name is Nina and I am 11 years old. This is my blue backpack. Inside my backpack, there are many things for school. There are two small green notebooks. There is a cute pink pencil case too. In my pencil case, there is a yellow ruler and a white eraser. I use them for my art and math lessons. Now, look at my classroom! It is big and bright. There are twenty brown desks for the students. In the front of the room, there is a large green board. The teacher writes the lesson on it. On the wall, there is a round red clock. It tells us the time. I love my school, my cozy classroom, and my colorful backpack!
