Meet Angel Santiago

Interviewed by Mr. Kyle

I would like you to meet Angel Santiago.  Angel is ten years old and is in Mrs. Bennett's fifth grade class.  When asked if he likes having Mrs. Bennett as a teacher, Angel says "Yeah.  She is funny, but strict!"  Angel really likes studying math, reading, and writing at school.  His favorite books are chapter books, and he enjoys reading the adventures of Jack and Annie in the Magic Tree House book series.

Angel likes to play sports, and he really enjoys playing soccer.  He has played soccer for five years, and even went to California with his soccer team to play in a tournament.  Although Angel's soccer team didn't win, it was still a lot of fun!  He also likes to play football, and his favorite team is the Oregon Ducks.  Go Ducks! 

Angel got to play soccer on the field
at Jeld-Wen Field!

Angel is the youngest in his family.  He has one sister who is 22 and lives at home with Angel and his family.  His two brothers are 27 and 22 years old, and they don't live at home.  Angel has a two-year old dog named Daisy.

Angel's favorite food is Mexican food, and he really likes to eat enchiladas.  When asked what he likes to do during his free time during weekends when he is not at school, Angel says: "I'm pretty busy.  Over the weekend, I either play soccer, or go to church."  One of Angel's favorite things to do in Portland is to go see Timbers soccer games.  "My coach gets free tickets to Timber games," Angel says. "I even got to play soccer on the field at Jeld-Wen Field!"

And that is all about Angel, the soccer-playing, enchilada-eating fifth grader in Mrs. Bennett's class at Oliver Elementary!
