We went to school yesterday and it was very different. We gave our friends a ride to school. At the beginning of the day they do a pledge of allegiance like we do but it’s completely different because Dominica is a country. It’s actually called a Commonwealth, but it’s like a country. At the start of every day they also sing songs from the bible, and it is a public school! Then they said 20 minute prayers and had free time outside. What surprised me was that most of the kids chose to read in their free time! They don’t have many books, so they read whatever they can find. Sometimes it’s a book that’s really easy for them.
After that, it was snack time and most of the kids bought their snacks from the school. They bought things like cheese puffs and fruit pops. When they went to go play in the school yard I played with my friend Kemely (Kim-mel-lee) and Willow played with her friend Mara. We discovered that it was a half day and nobody knew that it was a half day (they all took the bus home anyway) but I just pulled a dollar out of my pocket for me and Willow to take the bus home. We waited at the side of the road and we caught a truck to Mero. We all piled in. Apparently, we didn’t need the dollar so I just kept it. We came back to the house and we went to D’Leau Chaud .Guess how many kids and adults in total we fit in our car? 16! They kept piling in. we had 7 in the trunk and 3 in the front seat and 6 in the backseat! 3 adults and 13 kids! We had a very fun day yesterday and we can’t wait for another one like it today.
