My School

Today, I'll tell you about a normal day at school. I still have to go to school until the end of the month of June.  My school specializes in music and presents concerts here and also outside of Canada.

I walk to school with my friends. It takes us ten minutes to get there. Classes start at 8:30 am. At this moment all students are very excited because this is the last month of school, but also the time for exams. I have four classes of 75 minutes and between each class a break of 15 minutes.

During lunch time I eat at the cafeteria and have fun with my friends in the park around the school. School ends at 3:15 pm. I walk back home were I do my homework and I relax. I often take the subway to go to the library Plateau-Mont-Royal were my mother is chief librarian. We have dinner together and then I go to my fencing class. The library is in downtown. I like to go in that part of the city, where it's full of people and very buzzy.

We go to school until the end of June also. I walk to school also. We don't have subways in Rhode Island. I can't wait until summer either. You are on the same continent North America but you are north of the United States.

That's a big school you've got. My school ended on the end of June, too. I hung out with my friends at school and we had so much fun at my school. I go to high school in Canada and I do homework in school. I got help whenever I make mistakes or they would help me on the questions on the work sheet that my teachers give me.

you are luchy.I'm a 13-year-old girl from Chinese.My school is small.And now I'm having my summer holiday.Your school is very bueatful,I hope I can be there one day.Can we be friends?Sincerely.

Going to school in Canada must be fun. I go to school in Pennsylvania. My science teacher Mr. Joseph is awesome! He lets us call him Mr. Jo fish because when he was younger he couldn't pronounce Joseph. He has animals all around his room from places all around the world. Recently we hatched baby pagona viteceps eggs. We hold frogs, lizards, SNAKES, and turtles. We get to yell answer swhen he tells us to. He has a lot of corn snakes that are really fun to hold especially when they are energetic. Also my school ends at 3:15 to. Although i don't get home until around 3:30.

PS. Have you ever eaten Canadian Bacon. Ive always wondered what it tastes like and if it is just ham that tastes different.

Wow, your school is great! I hope I could live somewhere in Canada. Because I live so far from Canada and USA, nice to know you!

My school ends at the end of June as well-I go to the Gifted program. It's not that special-your school looks a lot nicer. :)

Classes start at 9 here-we don't have breaks in between, but we have about two to three 45/50-minute classes, then recess or lunch.

My school really focused on helping the community, and my principal was really energetic and interesting. Unfortunately, she retired this year. Our school was also pretty musical, visiting a lot of other schools/libraries to preform.

We also don't have exams-we have a test or a summative project at the end of each unit instead.

I'm american and i like canadian bacon. It tastes like ham.

Right now I'm home-schooled, but I like how your school is! It's real nice!

well i from Cuba but im living in the florida,United Stated!

wooooooooooooooooooooow

hello

We are a small neighborhood school in Illinois, and we have music in our school, too. We get out of school in June, too, and we get out each day at 2:50 except Mondays when we get out at 1:45 so teachers can work together at meetings. We like what you posted.

Hi, I go to a school in a small town in Illinois, we are learning about Canada.
You must like going to school in Canada, sounds like fun.

I like her story but it is a bit sad.

you are so lucky our school ends in november or something

Hey, guys! I am from Canada, too, but I'm from the other side of Canada. I will get homeschooled soon. My school right now isn't that big, doesn't have a swimming pool, but since it's so small, you get to know everyone and it's fun.

Sounds like you have a pretty busy day.
