First Day at School

Today was my first day at Feinberg Fisher School. It was an okay day. First of all I woke up at 7 am, got up, got dressed in my new uniform and had some breakfast (two eggs, over easy with toast).

Then my Mom and Dad took me to school. We arrived a few minutes early and I saw a friend that I met on Saturday at the orientation named Jose. I headed up to my classroom right before the teacher, Ms. Llorca, got there. I headed in and said goodbye to my parents.

I got settled in at my new desk and met some of my new classmates.

It sure is different here at my school in Miami Beach. Here are a couple of things that are very different from home:

First up in the morning you need to sing the national anthem with your right hand over your heart. Luckily I watch a lot of hockey and so I know it pretty well.

There is no recess before lunch like at home. Even at lunch you just need to eat your lunch and go right back to school. No time to run around before going back to class.

At lunchtime I lined up in the cafeteria but then realized that because I had my own lunch from home I didn't need to. Then I wasn't sure where I should sit in the cafeteria. I asked a teacher where I should sit and she told me but then I was sitting all by myself and then I felt sad. I was worried than nobody wanted to sit with me but then I realized that all of my classmates were still in the hot lunch line-up. Soon I was joined by some classmates and this made me feel much better.

After lunch we headed straight back to the classroom with no break. I was kind of weirded out by that. When we got back in I finished off some work that I had started in the morning and then we continued on to math. The actual school work didn't seem that hard to me.

The day went by very quickly and so soon the bell rang, the day was over and my Mom was there to meet me. We walked home from school and I got a chocolate milkshake on the way.

Tomorrow I still don't know what to expect but I hope that it will be a good day.

Bye for now,

M.
