On August 16, 2016, the school started for the 360 students at Captain Elementary School in Clayton, Missouri. 60 of these students are kindergarteners. After two weeks, they were asked what they liked about captain. Here are their answers.

In the “Stars” class, seven people liked playing and three people liked P.E., or Physical Education. The other topics didn’t have much in them, just two for Kid Zone and two for Captain in general. In the “Hearts” class, two students were interviewed. The first one interviewed was Lucy Baum. She liked recess, and didn’t have a least favorite part of Captain. The next person interviewed did have a least favorite part, and it was naptime. This person was Yuze Li, the second person interviewed.


These kindergarteners will have a good time in kindergarten, and first grade too.  After asked, “Even though there [are changes] in 1st grade, will you still like Captain?” the ones interviewed said they would still like captain. The interviewed people are one third of the kindergarteners, but we need more information to tell if the whole grade likes Captain. It’s very likely, though.
