//CH:// “What… is school? Is it anything like our floating academies?” Margie inquired. “Well, lemme read it…” Tommy read from the book. “…this book is titled ‘Safaia’… that is Japanese for Sapphire, it says. It’s is about a girl. Her name is Sapphire Birch.” “Sapphire walked into the school on a brisk September day. She just couldn’t imagine when it would end in July. At least Phire (Sapphire’s nickname) didn’t have to go to school all year. There were vacations (Thank goodness). Her mother says she has to go to school kindergarten to twelfth grade. Twelve years. A long, hard slog… Phire was in school 8:00 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. The school is wooden, sturdy and tall. The school is located north of Sapphire’s home in Littleroot Town. Sapphire often walked to the school, but sometimes her parents drove her in their car. Her teacher was very nice, a lady of about twenty-three years old. Phire loved music- she was adept in playing the jaw harp. And she loved hanging out with her friends Ruby Richards and Wally Verdana. And, of course, there were bullies. Lunch was delicious. It consisted of sandwiches, pizza, and soup. But sometimes Sapphire’s mom packed her a lunch of sandwich or cold pizza. Sometimes she bought an Izze at the vending machine for a dollar. Sapphire Birch had some good- and bad- experiences in school, and those lessons helped her learn in life.” Tommy paused. “Hey, there’s a picture of her!” She’s pretty!” Margie squealed in delight. A girl... with brown hair and blue eyes. Red top and bandana, white miniskirt and dark blue shorts. White and dark blue gloves.

 * TD, RE, EG, CH please post your endings here. Separate your endings with a horizontal line.**

In the story the book says that //school// is a place were people go to learn. They had to read from a book like this one and had to write on paper and not type it like you would on a screen. It also says that school is complicated and they had different subjects like math, reading, and science. All in all school to this book was basically a place were people learn. In the book it says that you go to school all year round from August to June. School would start at 7:00AM and end at 3:00PM. You would attend school for 12 years and then attend College for 4 years. It was a big building that had all different classrooms. It was not far from your home.  You would have lunch at a table at school you could bring your own lunch or buy it there. They do not feed you like they would now. The teachers are people and not robots like it would be now.

TD “The book says that school is sometimes fun and sometimes not fun. It is fun when we get to hang out and talk to our friends but it is not fun that we have to do work. Almost everyone goes to school who is a kid unless they are home schooled. School starts at most schools around 7:45am and end around 2:30pm. You go to school for along time but get a break during the summer. Most people call it summer break. It also says that they get weekends and holidays off and there are some vacations thrown in. You go to school from the age of three sometimes and go until you become a senior in high school. Then you decide whether you want to go to a four year college or not.” Said Tommy. “The book also says what the building is like. It says that you go to lunch in a big room where people cook you food. It also says that there is a class called gym where you go into another big room with lines and equipment. Each student gets a locker where they put all of their books and stuff in and you go to different rooms with different teachers and you go there with other kids. And the teachers are real humans. Practically the whole town goes to the same schools and you lived sometimes close to school or sometimes really far away from school. The good things about school is your friends are there but the bad thing about school is that you have to do a ton of work and sometimes you get detention and that means you have to come after school because of you miss behaved.” Said Margie. “School sounds pretty, Interesting.” Said Tommy

LG “What is school?” Margie asked. “I’m not sure. The book says that school is long, it starts at 7:50AM and ends at 2:30PM. You also go five days a week, but you get two days off at the end of the week.” Tommy said. “It says that you start going to school when you are young and graduate at 18, but after that you go to college and learn even more for at least four years,” said Margie. “The book also says that in school you have a teacher, but when you get to 6th grade you have four teachers, one for every subject. You get a lunch break in the middle of the day for a half hour, and then you go back to class.” said Tommy “I wonder what the teachers are like,” said Margie “It says some of the teachers are nice but others are strict and mean.” The book also described what each day was like. The book said that school starts in late August and ends in late June. There are some good and bad things about going to school. One good thing about school is that you meet a lot of new people. One bad thing about school is that it is long and boring. The school is about 2 miles away from home. You can drive to school every morning or take the bus. The building is made of bricks and is not very big. There are three grades in the school, 6th 7th and 8th. After 8th grade you go to the high school for four years before you go off to college.
