The best part of me are my helpful hands. When writing on the board, or marking an assignment, my hands are there to help. They keep my dog safe by holding his leash when we cross a busy street or when we walk to the park. I clap my hands to show appreciation when I see or hear something amazing, such as a play or an exciting movie! My hands help me dig the rich soil in my garden so that I can plant seeds to grow vegetables. I love my hands because without them I wouldn't be able to do my job as a teacher and as a pet parent!
