Likes and Dislikes about Scarborough• Things we like about Scarborough Maine is how

pretty the beaches, marshes, and the land. We also love how our community is safe and friendly. We also how in the summer you can go swimming in the ocean to cool off. We like how in the summer it gets really hot. We like how in the winter you get snow so you can build snow forts, snowmen and have snowball fights. Things we don’t like about Maine is how cold it gets in the winter because you can get frost bite, you get snow in your coat, and you just freeze. One more thing we don’t like about Maine is if our school gets so many snow days, you are in school for more days in the summer. Things we would change about Maine is nothing, we like Maine how it is. If we change Maine, it wouldn’t be Maine anymore!
